The DPO’s New Frontier

The ICO’s 2026 AI Guidance is clear: Accountability for AI systems is non-negotiable. For a UK DPO, the challenge isn’t just “Privacy by Design,” but “Fairness by Design.”

The ICO’s Audit Reality: The Information Commissioner’s Office now uses specific AI Auditing Tools to test for bias and transparency in automated systems. If you cannot produce a clear trail of how your AI makes decisions, you are at risk of a significant Article 22 (ADM) breach.

Why Enactia? Enactia’s AI Governance Module acts as your pre-audit shield.
