Data Protection Impact Assessment
It’s advisable to start with an impact assessment, and our Consultants can help you prepare this in relation to the PII you store and process.
Privacy Statement
Your privacy statement should provide clear information on your data protection practices including how you manage requests to access data, data breaches and any third parties who process or handle PII. Our Consultants will work with you to produce a clear and accurate statement.
Accountability
A key theme of Data Protection and particularly GDPR, will be accountability. Our GDPR Consultants will help you build Data Protection into the design of your business processes, ensuring accountability at every step.
Does BREXIT Impact GDPR?
The ICO guidance (as of June 2023) says:
Does the GDPR still apply?
The EU GDPR is an EU Regulation and it no longer applies to the UK. If you operate inside the UK, you need to comply with the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018).
The provisions of the EU GDPR have been incorporated directly into UK law as the UK GDPR. In practice, there is little change to the core data protection principles, rights and obligations. GDPR recitals add depth and help to explain the binding articles. Recitals continue to have the same status as before – they are not legally binding; they are useful for understanding the meaning of the articles.

Basis for Lawful Processing
Contrary to popular belief, Data Subject Consent is only one of the lawful basis for processing data.
