GDPR ComplianceCan we prove it?

If your business handles personal data (customer details, employee records, user accounts) you have obligations under UK and EU data protection law. Most small businesses know they should have this in order, but the work gets put off until a customer questionnaire, an investor's due diligence, or a contract clause forces the issue, by which point the gaps are obvious and the deadline is tight.

GDPR Compliance puts the foundations in place as a defined project. We map your data, write the policies and notices you actually need, and make sure you can demonstrate compliance to anyone who asks. You finish with a complete, proportionate set of documentation and processes that reflect how your business genuinely operates.

In short

  • 01A complete, proportionate set of data protection documentation that matches how you really operate.
  • 02Evidence you can show customers, investors, and regulators the moment they ask.
  • 03A defined project with a clear end point, not an open-ended retainer.

What problems we solve

Most businesses put data protection off until something forces the issue. You're in the right place if any of these sound familiar:

01

A customer asks for our GDPR documentation

You scramble to find or write policies, and the answers come out inconsistent or clearly drafted overnight.

02

We've no record of what data we hold

Nobody can answer “what data, and why”, which undermines every other part of compliance.

03

Our privacy notice came from a template

What you tell people no longer matches what you do, which is exactly what a buyer or regulator looks for.

04

Someone asks for a copy of their data

Confusion over who handles it, where the data lives, and the deadline, all under a one-month legal clock.

05

Our lawful basis was never worked out

Marketing, analytics, and data sharing carry on with no clear justification, a common cause of complaints.

06

Staff have had no data protection training

People mishandle personal data because nobody has told them the rules or why they matter.

How GDPR compliance works

01Starts with
Discovery call

Scope and map

A short discovery call confirms what data you handle and which laws apply. We then map your processing into a Record of Processing Activities, the foundation everything else rests on.

02Typical duration
4 to 8 weeks

Build the documentation

We establish a defensible lawful basis, rewrite your privacy notices, and produce the policies, procedures, DPIA process, and staff training you'll actually use.

03Optional
Annual review

Sign off and review

We close the gaps, hand over a complete, signed-off set of documentation, and offer a light-touch annual review to keep it current as your business changes.

These are the headlines. The full service description sets out every activity, assumption, and exclusion.

Who it's for

20 to 200 employees: real data protection obligations, but no realistic case for in-house privacy expertise

Handling personal data: customer accounts, employee records, user data, or marketing lists

UK or EU operations: subject to UK GDPR, EU GDPR, or both

Under external pressure: procurement questionnaires, due diligence, or contract clauses asking for evidence

Happy to run the day-to-day: you need to get compliant, not hand privacy over to someone else

What's not included

  • A named DPO or ICO contact
  • Operating data subject requests
  • Ongoing advice between reviews
  • Legal advice
  • Implementing technical controls
  • Acting as your EU Representative
Read the full service description

Your project is led by a qualified privacy professional holding recognised credentials such as CIPP/E or CIPM. You work with the same named consultant throughout, and if you later take up the DPO service, the same person can continue, so your context carries over instead of starting again.

Term and pricing

Phase 1: Getting compliant

4–8 weeks

Fixed fee, scoped after a discovery call

Phase 2: Annual review

Optional

Fixed fee per review

This is a fixed-scope project, not a retainer. If you need continuous data protection support, the DPO service is structured for that. Use the calculator for an indicative estimate.

A short conversation is usually enough to tell whether this project is the right fit, what it would cover, and how long it would take. If the DPO service suits you better, we'll say so.
