Practical support and advice to ensure your business’ data protection and GDPR compliance
If your organisation processes personal data, it is likely to be affected by the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), Data Protection Act 2018 and other privacy legislation.
The GDPR introduced significant reforms to the UK’s data protection landscape when it came into effect on 25 May 2018. Companies that fail to comply with GDPR could be liable for penalties equivalent to 4% of their annual turnover or up to £18 million.
These regulations will also still apply even after Britain leaves the EU and the European Data Protection Authority has the power to take action against businesses located anywhere in the world who fail to comply.
At Stonehewer Moss, our Data Protection and GDPR team comprise legal and compliance experts with specialist training in this field. They can help your organisation by providing practical advice and support to ensure you comply with the latest data protection legislation to give you peace of mind.
We offer a range of data protection and GDPR legal services from GDPR audits, ad-hoc legal counsel, to acting as your company’s outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO).
