Frequently Asked Questions

What is GDPR consultancy?

GDPR consultancy is expert support to help your organisation understand, implement, and maintain compliance with UK GDPR and related data protection law, covering everything from policy reviews to ongoing advice, tailored to your specific needs rather than a single fixed service.

How is GDPR consultancy different from an outsourced DPO service?

An outsourced DPO takes on the formal, ongoing statutory role for your organisation. GDPR consultancy is more flexible, it can support a specific project, a one-off review, or ongoing advice without necessarily taking on the DPO role itself. Many organisations use both together.

Do we need GDPR consultancy if we already have a Data Protection Officer?

Yes, this is common. Even organisations with an internal or outsourced DPO often bring in consultancy support for specific projects, second opinions, or extra capacity during busy periods, since a DPO's time is finite and some projects need dedicated focus.

What kinds of projects does GDPR consultancy typically cover?

Common examples include Data Protection Impact Assessments, Records of Processing Activities, data mapping exercises, policy and documentation reviews, data processor due diligence, and sector-specific compliance projects.

How long does a typical GDPR consultancy engagement last?

This depends entirely on the scope, some engagements are a short, focused review lasting days, others are longer-term projects or ongoing retained support. Consultancy is scoped around your organisation's actual need rather than a fixed format.

Can GDPR consultancy help with sector-specific compliance needs?

Yes. Different sectors, such as education, healthcare, housing, and charities, face different data protection challenges, and consultancy support can be tailored to the specific risks and requirements relevant to your sector.

What's the difference between GDPR consultancy and a compliance audit?

A compliance audit specifically assesses your current practices against the law and identifies gaps. GDPR consultancy is broader, it can include audits, but also covers implementation support, ongoing advice, and hands-on project work beyond just identifying issues.

Do we need to be UK-based to use GDPR consultancy services?

Data protection consultancy is relevant to any organisation subject to UK GDPR or handling data connected to UK individuals, including organisations with international operations that need to align with UK requirements alongside other jurisdictions.

How do we know if we need consultancy support or a fully outsourced DPO?

This depends on your organisation's size, risk profile, and whether you're legally required to appoint a DPO. A conversation with a consultant can help clarify which model, or combination of the two, best fits your situation.

How do we get started with GDPR consultancy?

The process typically starts with understanding your organisation's current position and specific challenges, so the right scope of support, whether a single project, ongoing advice, or a blended package, can be agreed.
