Protect
Data protection, done properly
For organisations that hold information about people and want to handle it properly. UK GDPR advice from a CIPP/E certified professional, written in plain English.
An example
What is included
Privacy notice review
We read your privacy notice against what you actually do with people’s information, and rewrite it so that it is accurate and easy to follow.
Data protection impact assessment (DPIA)
A structured look at a new system or project before it starts: what data it uses, what could go wrong and what to do about it.
Cookie audit
We check what your website really stores on a visitor’s device and whether your banner and cookie page match.
Policy pack
The data protection policies your organisation needs, written for the way you work.
Google Workspace security audit
A review of your Workspace settings, sharing and accounts, with findings sorted by how urgent they are.
Data security advice and audits
A practical review of how your organisation keeps information safe: devices, accounts, passwords, backups and who has access, with clear advice on what to fix first.
Data protection training
UK GDPR training for staff, volunteers and trustees, built around the information your organisation actually handles.
Online safety sessions
Talks and workshops for parents, staff and young people.
This is data protection advice. It is not legal advice from a solicitor.
How it works
01
A conversation
It starts with a conversation about what you are trying to do, in person where we can.
02
A written proposal
You get a written proposal with a fixed price and a clear scope, so there are no surprises.
03
Built in stages
We build in stages and show you the work as it goes.
04
Training
At the end we train whoever will be looking after it.
05
Support
Most clients keep us on a small support agreement for changes and questions.
