UK GPDR

Protect personal data, earn trust, and stay compliant with UK GDPR.

Put robust data-protection practices in place that safeguard personal data, reduce risk and build trust. We guide you through lawful processing, individual rights, transparency and incident response—so you can demonstrate compliance with confidence.

What Is UK GDPR?

In the UK, data protection is governed by the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Following Brexit, the UK implemented its own version of data protection legislation, which closely mirrors the original GDPR framework but is tailored to UK law.

The UK GDPR sets out strict requirements for how organisations collect, store, process, and protect personal data. It applies to all UK businesses that handle personal information, regardless of size or sector.

Why UK GDPR Compliance Matters

UK GDPR compliance is not optional. The legislation gives individuals greater control over their personal data and imposes significant obligations on organisations. Key principles include:

Lawfulness, fairness and transparency Processing data legally and being clear about how you use it

Purpose limitation Only collecting data for specific, legitimate purposes

Data minimisation Collecting only what is necessary

Accuracy Keeping personal data accurate and up to date

Storage limitation Retaining data only as long as necessary

Integrity and confidentiality Protecting data with appropriate security measures

Penalties for Non-Compliance

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) can impose fines of up to £17.5 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is greater.

Beyond financial penalties, non-compliance can result in reputational damage, loss of customer trust, and potential legal action from affected individuals.

The risks of non-compliance are substantial. Many organisations have already faced significant fines for UK GDPR breaches, making it essential to take data protection seriously.
