GDPR & Data Protection Support

We can provide your business with help in complying with GDPR and Data Protection legislation. Whilst having a DPO (Data Protection Officer) is not mandatory for most businesses, complying with the legislation is mandatory for all. This assistance is for businesses in the UK and elsewhere in the world. For example, our Data Protection Compliance experts serve as external Data Protection Officers for companies with businesses established in multiple countries and so are experienced in the complexities of multi-jurisdictional compliance.

Some Examples:

• SAR – do you have a compliance process mapped out for handling Subject Access Requests? We were contacted by a Family Law Solicitors firm who had received such a request from their client’s opponent. They had no process in place.
• Data Retention Policy – do you have one? Is it compliant? You are only supposed to retain data of customers for as long as absolutely necessary. The data is supposed to held securely.
• Records of Processing Activities – do you have this in place and up to date? Under Article 30 of the UK GDPR this is a mandatory document for most organisations, that maps all of your data collection and data flows.
• Staff Training – it is mandatory under the UK GDPR to give all staff training and awareness of data protection regulations. Link to our service: https://www.hunningsconsultancy.co.uk/gdpr-data-protection-training/
• There are other documents and policies that are either mandatory or represent best practice, and importantly could help to ensure you are compliant should you ever be challenged

The support is provided by our DPO team, headed, Nick Richards (DPO stands for Data Protection Officer). members of our DPO team are appointed as DPO by several firms. However, we appreciate that you may not wish to go to the formal step of appointing a DPO. So, we have unbundled this help and are offering this expertise to support you.

Taste & See

For this you can sign up for a retainer from just 1 hour of his time a month on a ‘use it or lose it basis’. You may choose to use that time to ask him to review what you have in place already and then advise on what needs to be done to make you compliant. Or to answer specific questions or to provide an hour’s training to your staff for that month. Price £200 (+ VAT where applicable) a month, paid at the beginning of the month. This you can cancel with 3 calendar month’s notice.

Of course you could decide to reserve more of his time each month or appoint him or Sam as your internal or external DPO. Or they can work as an external support for an internal DPO.

If you would like something outside of that package, then reach out to us and we can look at building something bespoke for you.

Testimonial

” Nick has supported us through a period of rapid growth in clients, people, locations, products and systems.  As for so many firms, data is at the heart of our legal work and we cannot  afford to cavalier about compliance or security. He has guided us with the necessary expertise but it is his real life input that has enabled us to address data priorities in a pragmatic and effective manner. His guidance has enabled us to achieve Cyber Essentials and IASME certification as well as to navigate some of the conflicting dynamics between competing data rights. He is also a joy to work with and I recommend him wholeheartedly. “
