GDPR Implementation

A gap analysis is typically followed by GDPR compliance implementation and remediation action. At this stage, we develop the necessary policies, procedures, processes, and documents to achieve, maintain and improve GDPR compliance.

This work is fully customised and tailored to your organisation, and we address the specific needs of your business and train your staff to ensure data compliance is embedded at every level of your business.

GDPR and data protection law are always changing. New regulations, laws and policies, and evolving risks make it hard for staff to keep up; and the consequences of getting it wrong can be serious for maintaining credibility with customers and partners, reputation, operations, and legal exposure.

We offer comprehensive GDPR training designed to ensure everyone in your organisation, from senior leadership to frontline staff, understands their obligations, applies best practice, and feels confident in how they handle personal data.

Well-established data compliance frameworks benefit from regular review to ensure that compliance is not only maintained but continually strengthened.

We take a consultative approach, working with you to assess how policies and procedures operate in practice, identify emerging risks, and provide clear, practical recommendations. With scheduled audits, you gain confidence that your framework evolves with the GDPR landscape and that your teams remain engaged and compliant.

Does GDPR Apply To My Organisation?

GDPR applies whenever an organisation processes the personal data of individuals in the UK or EU, regardless of where the organisation is based or the processing takes place, as outlined in Article 3 of the UK GDPR and the EU GDPR.

If your organisation is found to be in violation of GDPR, supervisory authorities can impose fines of up to €20 million / £17.5 million, or 4% of the global annual turnover of your business (whichever is greater).

Our consultants are qualified data protection experts with extensive experience across sectors. We help large organisations navigate the complexities of GDPR obligations, ensuring policies, contracts, and practices align with both current legal standards and emerging risks.

Outsource GDPR Compliance, Reduce Risk, and Save Resources

Outsourcing your GDPR compliance gives you flexibility, expertise, and prevents often costly administrative fines from supervisory authorities. Here’s how your organisation benefits:

Flexible GDPR Support on Demand

Scale support up or down to match project cycles, regulatory activity or incident response needs without hiring permanent headcount.

Cost-Effective Data Protection

Access senior expertise on a part-time or fixed-fee basis, so you stay compliant without increasing overheads.

Access to GDPR and Legal Expertise

Working with an external DPO and legal experts provides access to deeper knowledge of GDPR, sector-specific regulations, emerging privacy laws and cross-industry practice than a single, in-house DPO can provide.

Independence and Objectivity

External advisers provide impartial assessments, which strengthens governance and tests, and validates and complements internal resources.

Regulatory Readiness and Audit Evidence

Consultancies and law firms deliver audit-ready precedents (ROPA, DPIAs, breach logs, policies, training) and can prepare you for supervisory inquiries or inspections.

Faster Incident Response and Breach Management

Rapid access to experienced advisers for containment, notification decisions, and regulator engagement reduces legal and operational exposure.

Multi-Jurisdiction Capability

Practical experience with international transfer mechanisms, UK/EU divergence, and local supervisory practice reduces legal uncertainty.

Got Questions About GDPR? We’ve Got Answers

Why is GDPR important?

GDPR sets the legal framework for processing personal data in the UK and EU, imposing accountability, individual rights and security obligations designed to protect privacy and reduce legal, financial and reputational risk.

Supervisory authorities can impose fines of up to €20 million / £17.5 million, making it crucial for organisations to maintain compliance.

Your own customers expect data protection compliance measures to be in place; data protection is not a “nice to have”.

Why was GDPR introduced?

The EU GDPR was introduced in May 2018 across Europe, and following Brexit, the EU law was adapted and incorporated into UK law in January 2021.

It was introduced to update and modernise existing EU data protection laws and provide an established, Europe-wide framework for data protection.

The main goals were to enhance the rights of an individual regarding their personal data and set out clear obligations for organisations that process personal data.

What is considered personal data under GDPR?

Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes:

Name
ID number
Location data
Online identifiers
Identifying categories such as health, racial origin, political opinions, biometrics etc.

How serious is a GDPR breach?

Potentially very serious: supervisory authorities can impose corrective orders, suspend processing or issue substantial fines; affected individuals may also bring compensation claims, and reputational harm can be significant.

While fines for GDPR breaches can be very expensive for businesses, the reputational damage can be an even bigger cost to organisations. Additionally, individual compensation claims can further damage public perception.

What is the maximum fine for a GDPR breach?

The maximum fine for a GDPR breach depends on the level of infringement.

The most serious infringements carry fines of up to £17.5million / €20 million, or 4% of global annual turnover, whichever is greater.
Lower-tier infringements carry fines of up to £8.7 million / €10 million, or 2% of global annual turnover.

How long do I have to report a data breach?

You must notify the relevant supervisory authority without delay, and within 72 hours of becoming aware of the data breach.

Additionally, you should notify affected data subjects “without undue delay” if the breach is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms.

Who is exempt from GDPR compliance?

Nearly all organisations must remain GDPR compliant, with a few exceptions. GDPR does not apply to certain data processing activities underaken by public security or law enforcement activities.

Additionally, fully anonymised data, with no reasonable means of re-identification, is also exempt.

Are small businesses exempt from GDPR?

No, small businesses are not exempt from GDPR. The size of an organisation or business provides no exemptions or leeway for GDPR compliance. Obligations depend purely on the nature, scope, and purpose of the data processing.
