Data Privacy Services FAQs

Get answers to common questions about our data privacy services and how they can help your organisation achieve compliance.

What is Data Privacy Consultancy?
Data privacy consultancy is the process of providing expert advice to organisations on how to protect the privacy of their personal data. This can include advice on how to collect, store, use, and disclose data, as well as how to develop policies and procedures to ensure compliance with applicable data privacy legislation. Data privacy consultants can also help organisations to assess their data privacy risks and develop strategies to mitigate those risks.
What Are the Benefits of Data Privacy Consultancy?
Data privacy consultancy can help organisations to develop and implement policies and procedures to protect the privacy of their customers' or employees' data. In addition, data privacy consultants can help create and maintain compliance with data privacy laws and regulations.
How Important Is Data Privacy?
Data Privacy is today considered an essential part of supporting the digital economy and is increasingly receiving high levels of media attention. In the UK, the key pieces of legislation governing data protection are the UK General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) (2016/679) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Data privacy is considered a fundamental human right, and data protection legislation exists to protect that right. Data privacy is important because in order for individuals to be willing to engage with organisations, they have to have confidence that their personal data will be handled with care.
Do We Need a Data Protection Officer?
Whether you need a Data Protection Officer (DPO) depends on several factors including the nature and scale of your data processing activities. Under GDPR, a DPO is mandatory for public authorities, organisations whose core activities involve regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale, or organisations whose core activities involve large-scale processing of special categories of data or criminal conviction data. Our experts can help assess whether your organisation requires a DPO.
Do We Need a Record of Processing Activities?
Under GDPR, most organisations are required to maintain a Record of Processing Activities (RoPA). This document records details about how personal data is processed, including purposes, categories of data subjects, types of personal data, recipients, retention periods, and security measures. Small enterprises with fewer than 250 employees may be exempt unless their processing is likely to result in a risk to data subjects' rights and freedoms, involves special categories of data, or is not occasional.
