GDPR

It takes much more than a privacy policy to make you compliant with the General Data Protection Regulations 2018. Use our experise and become street legal.

DPA2018

The Data Protection Act 1998 was repealed when GDPR became enforceable in 2018. On the same day we got a new Data Protection Act 2018. It is a complicated piece of legislation. We make sure you comply with it.

PECR

The Privacy and Electronic Regulations 2003 are all about communication. We make sure your marketing communications are compliant.

Data Protection Officer

Depending on the type or volume of data that you process you may need to appoint a Data Protection Officer. You can outsource those duties to us.

DPIA

A Data Protection Impact Assessment is a structured process that identifies risks to your data processing as a result of non-trivial changes to your IT infrastructure. We’ll take that burden off you.
