Simply put, data protection is about guarding people from the misuse of their personal information, by creating legal responsibility for keeping that information held as securely as possible. Read below for our data privacy services or contact us for more details.
Data privacy auditing and compliance
Compliance in line with data protection laws is having serious implications for any organisation that does not follow the rules when processing any personal data.
Data subjects now have full control of their personal information. With enhanced rights and an emphasis on fairness, transparency, accuracy and security, compliance will effectively prevent the unauthorised processing of personal information; in short, people will be empowered.
Our experienced professionals can:
- Carry out data mapping, review policy and procedures. Create internal frameworks.
- Report on your organisation’s current position benchmarked against the data protection law enabling your organisation to work toward continual compliance.

Data protection training
Many data protection laws require that staff under-go training as part of the compliance process. We offer this service through either our E-Learning Platform or on-site training.
Without training your staff you cannot duly protect one of your most valuable assets; the data within your organisation.
Our E-Learning takes your staff through the requirements of the Data Protection and Privacy law. The programme will give employees a detailed insight into what the regulation entails and allow them a full understanding of the law along with delivering personalised E-Learning Certification for each employee.
Our on-site training is delivered directly by our certified Data Protection Officers offering tailored courses aligned to your organisation.
EU and UK GDPR representation
The GDPR requires organisations not established in the EU to appoint a representative in an EU member state, if the organisation monitors the behaviour of individuals or if it is apparent that the organisation intends to offer goods or services to individuals in the EU. On leaving the EU, organisations in the UK will be subject to the same requirements.
In addition to this, when the UK leaves the EU, organisations not based in the UK who are offering goods or services to individuals in the UK or monitoring their behaviour will be required to appoint a UK representative, to comply with UK data protection law.
The Information Commissioner’s Office has stated that ‘the UK government intends that now the UK has left the EU, that the UK GDPR will require organisations located outside of the UK, but which still have to comply with the UK GDPR, to appoint a UK representative’.
