Data Protection Compliance

Data protection compliance is an ongoing process. 

All businesses are required to comply with both the Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK GDPR, as well as various other regulations and guidance.

Our specialist Data Protection and Privacy Team can help you with this and provide you with tailored advice to ensure compliance including:

• Data Protection Impact Assessments
• Data Protections Audits 
• Fixed-price template documents
• Training sessions for your employees
• Advice and support 

Get in touch with us to find out more and discuss your business needs. Email: dataprotection@prettys.co.uk or call us on 01473 232121.

In addition to the Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK GDPR,  significant changes have taken place since 2018 (including Brexit, and changes to the way in which international data transfers can be carried out). It is now advisable for reviews of what was put in place to be carried out to ensure that this remains compliant.

All businesses need to understand their obligations and be aware of the ongoing need to ensure data is being handled and protected correctly across the business, taking a proactive, ‘prevention is better than cure’, approach. 

We understand that one size does not fit all, and we will tailor our advice from both a legal and practical perspective so that you can keep your business running smoothly. 

We can help complete Data Protection Impact Assessments for when you want to introduce something new or help maintain your written record of processing activities. 

Our team can help you carry out an audit to ensure your business has effective controls in place alongside fit for purpose policies and procedures to support your obligations. 

We also offer training sessions to keep your employees up to date with any changes, ensure they are equipped with the information needed to act upon a data protection issue and help towards effective compliance.

We provide advice and support in a number of ways, from one-off advice on a particular project, to regular reviews and contact as part of our DPO Services or our retainer. 

We are also able to provide fixed-price template documents.   

We are able to do this by way of fixed fees, normal hourly rates and set monthly fees.  Please contact us for further information (see below).

At Prettys, we understand the legal challenges your business is facing. Our data protection lawyers are specialists in this field and have been advising on data protection issues for many years. Both Matthew Cole and Emma Loveday-Hill hold the CIPP/E (Certified Information Privacy Professional Europe) qualification. Emma also holds the IAPP CIPM (Certified Information Privacy Manager) accreditation. Matthew has a particular specialisation in acting for businesses in the BioTech sector.

Our combined practical experience and understanding of the law enables us to offer both practical solutions and legal advice while ensuring that there is continuity between the two.  This is not always the case with other data protection providers.

Get in touch in whichever way suits you best. For a no-obligation conversation about your data protection needs and how we might help, call us on 01473 232121 or email dataprotection@prettys.co.uk giving a few brief details about your business and your key reason for contacting us now.
