GDPR Compliance, Handled by a Real Practitioner
Data protection doesn't have to be a source of anxiety. We have a qualified GDPR consultant and practitioner in-house who can audit your position, close the gaps, and act as your outsourced Data Protection Officer - in plain English, at a pace that suits your business.
The UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 apply to virtually every organisation that handles personal data - which is all of them. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) can issue fines of up to £17.5 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher. But for most businesses the real risk isn't the headline fine - it's lost trust, breach-notification scrambles, and contracts you can't win without demonstrable compliance.
- Applies to any organisation handling personal data - no exceptions for being small
- ICO fines reach £17.5m or 4% of global turnover
- Personal-data breaches must be reported to the ICO within 72 hours
- Clients and partners increasingly require proof of compliance before they'll work with you
How We Help You Get and Stay Compliant
Data Protection Audit
We map what personal data you hold, where it lives, who can access it and why - then measure that against UK GDPR and DPA 2018 to give you a clear, prioritised picture of where you stand.
Policies & Documentation
Privacy notices, data retention schedules, records of processing, consent mechanisms and data-sharing agreements - written or refreshed so they're accurate, usable and defensible.
Outsourced DPO
If you need a Data Protection Officer - or just someone accountable to call when a question lands - our practitioner can act as your outsourced DPO without the cost of a full-time hire.
Staff Training
Most breaches come down to human error. We deliver practical, jargon-free training so your team knows how to handle personal data and spot a problem before it becomes a breach.
Breach Response Planning
We help you build a breach response plan so that if the worst happens, you can meet the 72-hour ICO notification window calmly instead of in a panic.
Subject Access Requests
DSARs can swallow days of staff time. We set up a repeatable process - and can handle the heavy lifting - so you respond properly and on time.
A Practitioner, Not a Template
Plenty of providers will sell you a GDPR policy pack and wish you luck. We're different - we have a practising GDPR consultant on the team who works with your business directly. You get judgement and context, not a generic document that doesn't reflect how you actually operate.
- Qualified, practising GDPR consultant in-house
- Advice grounded in how your business really works
- Ongoing support, not a one-off document drop
- Joined-up with your IT and cyber security so compliance is real, not paper-thin
GDPR FAQs
Does GDPR really apply to my small business?
Almost certainly yes. If you hold any personal data - customers, staff, suppliers, website enquiries - UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 apply. Size doesn't exempt you; it just changes what's proportionate.
Do we need a Data Protection Officer?
A formal DPO is mandatory for some organisations (e.g. large-scale monitoring or special-category data), but many businesses benefit from an outsourced DPO regardless. We can advise whether you legally need one and act as yours if so.
What happens if we have a data breach?
Certain personal-data breaches must be reported to the ICO within 72 hours, and affected individuals may need to be told too. We help you put a plan in place now so that's a calm, documented process rather than a scramble.
Can you work alongside our existing IT?
Yes. GDPR compliance and good IT/security go hand in hand - access controls, encryption, backups and retention all overlap. Because we do both, your compliance is backed by real technical controls, not just paperwork.
