Data Protection is a critical business area that requires expertise to ensure your practices meet the standards set by both the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. The Act is designed to ensure that personal data is handled securely and responsibly—but how confident are you that your business fully complies? Do you have a Data Protection Officer (DPO) or Senior Responsible Individual (SRI) in place?

Failing to follow best practices can have serious consequences. Beyond potential fines running into thousands of pounds, a data breach can damage your reputation through media coverage, public perception, and word of mouth. We provide confidential, expert support in managing the aftermath of a breach and any subsequent investigations.

Using the requirements of the Act, UK GDPR, and best practice standards such as BS 10012, we can provide tailored assistance in areas including:

• Implementing new or emerging ICO directives quickly and effectively
• Audits and compliance checks against DPA, UK GDPR, and PECR
