Today’s business demands the highest standards of compliance, ethics and best practice to maintain customer trust. Data protection is fundamental to these standards.
Simply defined, data protection is the practice of safeguarding personal data. Our goal is to ensure our clients comply with regulatory requirements as well as embedding a culture of good practice across the organisation.
Essential to today’s business success
The reality is that data protection is more than compliance and legislation. It is a core business activity that supports a range of progressive and essential business activities, including:
- Controlled and focused procurement.
- Informed strategic decision-making and risk management.
- Increased efficiency and cost savings.
- Development of a ‘data-focused’ culture.
- Improved data governance/reduced cyber risk.
- Improved customer experience and trust.
Our services
Retained services
We offer four levels of retained data protection support, tailored to fit your specific requirements and data protection risks. These are:
Data Protection Officer (DPO) service
An all-inclusive service, where we act as your appointed Data Protection Officer and provide a full suite of consultancy and advisory support, policy documentation, gap assessments/audits, and training/awareness sessions.
Data protection advisory service
A lighter version of the DPO service, provided at “advisory” level – covering all aspects of data protection best practice and compliance.
Data protection support desk
A service designed to provide assurance, reactive support, and guidance, in relation to business-as-usual data protection incidents or challenges.
Data protection incident response
Advice, support and guidance, limited to personal data breaches and data subject access requests.
There are a wide range of benefits for clients taking a retained service provision from Moore Kingston Smith, covering and supporting all areas of UK, EU and international data protection compliance and best practice.
Our managed services are based on contracted outsourced support, appropriate to the scope and nature of your requirement, and tailored to suit your business sector, profession or commercial focus.
Client projects
In addition to our retained service provisions, client projects also feature significantly in our standard service offering.
This work ranges from ad hoc support for organisations struggling to manage a data breach or subject access request, to more structured (long term) projects that require extensive resourcing.
Typically, our project work focuses on common areas of concern, such as:
- Compliance appraisals: data protection audits/gap assessments.
- Data subject access request (DSAR) support, advice and guidance.
- Data breach advice and guidance.
- Readiness projects: supporting internationally based clients to ensure compliance with UK or EU legislation on market entry.
