For business

Data Protection and GDPR

You’ve attended the course, you’ve watched the webinar, you know that your business is falling short of the new EU General Data Protection Regulation requirements. So, what do you do?

Compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK’s Data Protection Act 2018 is essential. It is critical you understand the new legal framework which expands upon the Data Protection Act 1998 and introduces new obligations and requirements on businesses and employers alike.

Given the impact on technology solutions, we work together with third-party experts, to offer a holistic legal and IT approach to data protection.

We draft and supply all standard GDPR documentation and privacy notices as well as offering an extensive gap analysis service.
