Trusted by data protection and compliance teams worldwide

You already know data protection matters. Here's what good looks like.

Whether you are responding to a regulatory change, a data breach, or a contract that requires you to demonstrate compliance, we help you get to a position you can stand behind.

Meet procurement and contract requirements

New clients, suppliers, and larger contracts often bring stricter data protection expectations. We help you strengthen your GDPR compliance framework so you can meet due diligence, procurement, and contractual requirements with confidence.

Protect against enforcement action

A data breach, a subject access request you are not sure how to handle, or a complaint to the ICO. Our consultants help you respond quickly, correctly and in a way that limits your exposure.

Avoid reputational damage and breach fallout

Personal data breaches do not just create legal risk. They can damage trust, disrupt operations, and raise difficult questions from customers, staff, and partners. We help you reduce the risk of incidents and respond in a way that protects your reputation.

[Our DPO] is approachable and quick to respond, has a good understanding of the sector we are in and the sort of issues that we are facing, and really makes an effort to look into the specifics of every issue we raise.”

Louise is an absolute pleasure to work with. She has helped us in so many ways, from navigating complex data protection issues around medical research, to helping create a suite of bespoke policies and training. She has given us the confidence to move beyond data protection management being a risk mitigation, to being an opportunity to consider projects we might not have before which, for us, eventually leads to better patient outcomes and more lives saved.”

Frequently asked questions

GDPR consultancy is expert support to help your organisation comply with UK and EU data protection law. This can cover everything from an initial gap analysis to identify where your compliance falls short, through to hands-on implementation support, drafting data protection policies and contracts, responding to DSARs, and providing an outsourced DPO. Our consultancy is tailored to your organisation’s specific needs, sector and risk profile rather than a generic set of recommendations.

A Data Protection Officer is a named individual responsible for overseeing your organisation’s data protection compliance. Under UK GDPR, certain organisations are required to appoint a DPO, including public authorities, organisations that carry out large-scale systematic monitoring of individuals, and those that process special category data at scale. Even where it is not a legal requirement, having a qualified DPO provides accountability and significantly reduces your exposure in the event of a breach or ICO investigation. Our DPO as a Service offering gives you access to a qualified, experienced DPO without the cost of a full-time employee.

Outsourcing your data protection function to GRC Solutions means you have an expert on hand who is up to date with the latest legislation, guidance and enforcement trends. Depending on your needs, this can include acting as your official DPO, reviewing and updating your documentation, responding to DSARs, advising on data protection impact assessments, and managing your ongoing compliance programme. You can scale the support up or down as your requirements change.

A GDPR gap analysis is a structured review of your current data protection practices against the requirements of UK and EU data protection law. It identifies where your organisation is compliant, where gaps exist, and what actions you need to take to address them. The output is a clear, prioritised report that gives your team a practical roadmap rather than a list of theoretical requirements. It is usually the right starting point for organisations that are unsure of their current compliance position.

A data protection impact assessment (DPIA) is a process for identifying and minimising the privacy risks of a new project, system or process that involves the processing of personal data. Under UK GDPR, a DPIA is mandatory for certain types of high-risk processing. Our consultants can carry out a DPIA on your behalf or guide your team through the process, ensuring the assessment meets ICO requirements and is documented correctly.

A data subject access request (DSAR) is a request from an individual to access the personal data your organisation holds about them. Under UK GDPR, you are required to respond within one calendar month. DSARs can be complex and time-consuming, particularly where they involve large volumes of data or require redaction. Our DSAR as a Service offering manages the entire process on your behalf, from receiving the request through to securely delivering the response.

Yes. Our team supports organisations with data protection compliance under UK GDPR, EU GDPR, PECR, CCPA and other data protection regulations worldwide. We have experience advising organisations across multiple jurisdictions and can provide EU and UK representative services for organisations required to appoint a local representative under Article 27 of the GDPR.

The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 received Royal Assent in June 2025 and introduced a number of amendments to UK data protection law. Key changes include new requirements around DSARs, recognised legitimate interests, and the replacement of the ICO with a new Information Commission. If you have not reviewed your compliance framework since the Act came into force, our consultants can carry out a gap analysis to identify what, if anything, you need to update.

We have consultants with experience across all industries, and will allocate the consultant best suited to your needs. We have in-depth experience with the charities, energy, health and medical services, retail, education and technology sectors.  

Once you reach out to us, one of our team members will contact you to discuss your requirements. We will put together a proposal and work with you to ensure it covers everything you need. Our consultant will work with you in-person or remotely (dependent on location) on the dates agreed, and in many cases will provide a report or handover, depending on the engagement.
