How you look after employees' personal information.

1.Our Information Officer, and any deputies, are registered with the Information Regulator.
2.Employees have a privacy notice that explains what HR collects about them, why and for how long.
3.We have written operator agreements with every vendor that handles employee data (payroll, EAP, medicals, survey tools).
4.We have a plan for telling the Information Regulator and affected people about a data breach, and people know their role in it.

Questions you skip count as "Not sure", which scores zero and shows as a gap.

Legal references are orientation only, not legal advice. This check is a self-assessment, not an audit or a compliance opinion.

From audit to action

From a five-minute check to evidence you can show an inspector

The check is the shadow audit. WorkVitals turns each gap into a toolkit, an owner and a date, then keeps the proof.

  1. CheckAnswer 25 questions across 8 areas. Scored on the spot.
  2. Rank the gapsSeverity and weight decide what comes first, not the loudest voice.
  3. Assign a toolkitEach gap maps to a WorkVitals toolkit with a policy, register or survey ready to use.
  4. Track to doneOwners, due dates and reminders on the statutory calendar.
  5. Keep the proofEvidence, versions and sign-offs in one place, ready for an audit. Then check again.

Then run the check again: the next report shows what moved.

The check is scored in your browser. Nothing is sent to us unless you ask for the PDF report; then we keep your work email and the score summary (the overall score and a colour per area), never your answers.
