GDPR-ready data protection leadership, on demand.
Your Virtual DPO is your named, independent data protection expert. We keep you compliant with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, handle breaches and the ICO, and take the compliance burden off your team, without the cost of a full-time officer.
A named Data Protection Officer, without the headcount.
Whether you are legally required to appoint a DPO or simply need credible data protection leadership, your vDPO delivers the expertise on demand, conflict-free and fully independent as the regulations require.
GDPR and DPA 2018 Compliance
A structured compliance programme that keeps you aligned with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We handle the framework so you can focus on running your business.
Data Protection Impact Assessments
We run DPIAs on new projects, systems, and suppliers so you can demonstrate accountability and catch privacy risk before it becomes a problem or a fine.
Records of Processing (RoPA)
A complete, maintained record of your processing activities, exactly what the ICO expects to see. We build it once and keep it current as your business changes.
Breach Response and ICO Liaison
When a breach happens, the 72-hour clock starts. Your vDPO leads the assessment, manages any ICO notification, and coordinates with your security team throughout.
Staff Data Protection Training
Practical, role-relevant training that turns data protection from a policy nobody reads into everyday habits, measurably reducing the human errors behind most breaches.
Policy and Privacy Notice Management
Clear, lawful, up-to-date policies and privacy notices, drafted for your business and kept current as the law and your processing evolve. No copy-paste templates.
Compliant in weeks, protected for the long term.
Data Protection Audit
We map how you collect, store, and share personal data, review your current policies and suppliers, and identify your most urgent compliance gaps and risks.
Remediation and RoPA
We close the priority gaps, build your records of processing, and put lawful policies and privacy notices in place, giving you a defensible compliance position fast.
Ongoing DPO Service
Your named vDPO handles day-to-day queries, DPIAs, data subject requests, and breach response, and acts as your point of contact with the ICO and data subjects.
Review and Assurance
Regular compliance reviews and an annual assessment keep you aligned as your processing and the regulations change, with clear reporting for your board.
How we have helped Lancashire businesses.
Healthtech Handling Special Category Data
A Preston healthtech firm processed sensitive health data and was legally required to appoint a DPO, but could not justify a full-time senior hire.
Named vDPO appointed within 2 weeks. RoPA and DPIAs completed, satisfying both a legal requirement and an NHS client’s due diligence.
E-commerce Business After a Data Breach
A Lancashire online retailer suffered a data breach with no one qualified to assess it or manage the ICO relationship inside the 72-hour window.
Breach assessed and correctly notified within the deadline. A remediation programme closed the gaps and rebuilt customer trust.
Marketing Agency Under Client Pressure
A Blackburn agency handling client customer lists was being asked to prove GDPR compliance before contracts would be renewed.
Full compliance programme and privacy documentation delivered, turning a contract risk into a competitive advantage.
