29: Chief executive may require data holder to test electronic system

You could also call this:

"Boss can ask you to check if your computer system follows the rules"

The chief executive can ask you, as a data holder, to test your electronic system. This is to make sure your system follows the technical and performance rules mentioned in section 28. The chief executive will send you a written notice about this.

When you get this notice, you need to do two things. First, you have to test your system as the notice says. Second, you have to write a report about the test and give it to the chief executive.

You must do these things in the way the notice says and by the time it says. The notice will tell you exactly what to do and when to do it.

If you want to know more about how these notices work, you can look at sections 145 and 146 of the law.
