Additions:
Data destruction. When that old PC is disposed of, what is done to the
disk drive? One local authority drilled a hole through theirs believing
it made it safe. Regrettably only the data with a hole in it was
destroyed.
Global CRM systems. Who can view what? And is any of that data in
Spain? Are model contracts or BCRs in place? Safe Harbor is amusing,
but insufficient
Does the Business Continuity Plan have Data Privacy embedded inside it?
A major fire is not a reason to erode individuals' rights, nor an
excuse for doing so

Physical security of laptops - that Nationwide thing is relevant,

Personal trawls through data for own purposes are unlawful. Bank

Important to monitor free text fields for compliance. Remember Airbus
Industrie and Clifford Chance? There was also a letter addressed to
"Dear Black Bastard" by a gas company because the data had been altered
to make that inevitable by a disaffected employee.
Monitor conditional fields for correctness. My aunt, when 80, was told
that she could not have a free TV licence because she was not yet
whatever the age is. Yet they had her date of birth correct.
Best I can do at short notice.
