Data protection compliance is an ongoing process. All businesses are required to comply with both the Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK GDPR, as well as various other regulations and guidance.
Our specialist Data Protection and Privacy Team can help you with this and provide you with tailored advice to ensure compliance including:
-
Data Protection Impact Assessments
-
Data Protections Audits

Fixed-price template documents
-
Training sessions for your employees

Advice and support
In addition to the Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK GDPR, significant changes have taken place since 2018 (including Brexit, and changes to the way in which international data transfers can be carried out). It is now advisable for reviews of what was put in place to be carried out to ensure that this remains compliant.
All businesses need to understand their obligations and be aware of the ongoing need to ensure data is being handled and protected correctly across the business, taking a proactive, ‘prevention is better than cure’, approach.
