STAIRs: A New Standard for Social Housing Providers

Listen Later

In this episode of InfoSec Insider – Talk DP, Stuart Skelly, a Senior GRC Consultant at URM, breaks down the Social Tenant Access to Information Requirements (STAIRs), an upcoming standard with which private registered providers (PRPs) of social housing (such as housing associations) will need to comply.  Stuart leverages his 25+ years of specialisation in data protection law to discuss:

  • What STAIRs is and the issues it has been designed to address
  • The rights that STAIRs will provide to tenants living in private sector-run social housing, and the types of information requests it is likely to be used for
  • How STAIRs compares to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and to the General Data Protection Regulation’s (GDPR’s) provisions on data subject access requests (DSARs)
  • What comes next for STAIRs.
