# GDPR and data protection.

> Practical GDPR consultancy and outsourced data protection support for London businesses. Data mapping, policies, breach readiness and DPO services.

Canonical: https://cybersecuritylondon.com/gdpr-consultancy


UK GDPR applies to almost every business. Our GDPR consultants help you understand what it actually asks of you, close the gaps and handle personal data with confidence.

Covers: Data mapping, Policies & notices, Breach readiness, Outsourced DPO.

## Overview

Data protection is part legal, part security. You need the right paperwork, but also the technical and organisational measures that actually keep personal data safe.

We bring both together: a clear view of what personal data you hold and why, proportionate policies, and the security controls that protect it, with ongoing support if you want it.

### A good fit if

- You are unsure whether you are GDPR compliant
- You have received a subject access request or complaint
- You need a data protection officer but can't hire one
- A client has asked about your data protection measures

## What's included

- **Data mapping**: What personal data you hold, where it lives and who it is shared with.
- **Gap analysis**: Where you fall short of UK GDPR requirements.
- **Policies and notices**: Privacy notices and policies that match how you really work.
- **Security measures**: Technical controls that protect personal data.
- **Breach readiness**: A plan for spotting, assessing and reporting data breaches.
- **DPO support**: Outsourced data protection officer services when you need them.

## How it works

1. **Map**: Record the personal data you hold and why.
2. **Assess**: Identify gaps against UK GDPR.
3. **Fix**: Update policies, notices and controls.
4. **Support**: Ongoing advice, requests and breach help.

## GDPR services

- **GDPR compliance review**: A clear assessment of where you stand and what to fix.
- **Outsourced data protection officer**: A named, experienced DPO without a full-time hire.
- **Subject access request support**: Help responding to requests correctly and on time.
- **Data breach support**: Assessing incidents and handling ICO notifications.

## What affects the cost

- **Data volume**: How much personal data you process, and how sensitive it is.
- **Starting point**: Existing records and policies reduce the work needed.
- **Ongoing support**: A one-off review or a monthly DPO service.
- **Complexity**: International transfers and many suppliers add work.

GDPR reviews are fixed price; outsourced DPO support is a simple monthly fee.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does my business need to comply with GDPR?

If you hold or use personal data about people in the UK, such as customers, staff or contacts, UK GDPR almost certainly applies to you.

### Do we need a data protection officer?

Some organisations must appoint one, such as those processing large amounts of sensitive data. Many others choose an outsourced DPO for expert support without a full-time hire.

### What happens if we have a data breach?

You may need to report it to the ICO within 72 hours, and in some cases tell the people affected. We help you assess the breach and respond correctly.

### Is GDPR compliance a one-off project?

No. Data, suppliers and processes change, so records and policies need regular review. Ongoing support keeps you on track.
