The Data Protection Act 2018 is aimed at ensuring personal data on individuals is adequately secured. But how well do you comply with those requirements as a business? Do you even have a Data Protection Officer?

The effect on your business of not following best practice can be far reaching. If you are fined for a breach against the Act not only do you stand to lose £000s but the damage to your reputation through PR, media and word of mouth could be devastating. We are experienced in the confidential and expert support handling of the aftermath of a data breach and any subsequent investigations.
