GDPR Consultancy

GDPR are regulations for the handling of consumer data – and you have to be compliant to avoid the tough penalties for data breaches and data privacy violations. If you run a business, or any group or organisation that holds personal information you have to ensure you are both data compliant and secure.

What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are privacy laws.

They protect residents in the UK and the European Union.

GDPR compels anybody that collects or processes people’s personal data must comply with its rules.

The regulations are intended to ensure everyone’s privacy and rights, whether the company collecting the data is based inside or outside of the EU, regardless of who is handling their personal information.

Why bother?

The UK GDPR and DPA 2018 set a maximum fine of £17.5 million or 4% of annual global turnover – whichever is greater – for infringements.

Fortis DPC, previously known as GDPR Compliance consultancy, provide a professional and helpful service. Their service offering is of a good quality.

Howard and team provide a fantastic service and I know with Howard on board, GDPR is not something I need to worry about. Recently he handled a Data Subject Access Request quickly and efficiently. Without Howard this would have cost me a lot of time and a headache!
