Ensure Compliance
with our UK GDPR Representative Services

Whether you are a controller or processor located outside the UK, if you are offering goods or services to individuals in the UK or logging their behaviour (including online), you must comply with the UK data protection regulations. This includes appointing a UK GDPR Representative if you lack a base within the UK. At DPAS, we specialise in fulfilling this role, acting as a bridge between your business, UK data subjects, and the data protection authorities.

We understand that navigating international data protection laws can be complex and challenging. Our team of experienced legal professionals is here to simplify this process and ensure your organisation complies with all relevant regulations. 

Our services are comprehensive, encompassing every facet of GDPR representation. We facilitate communication between UK data subjects and your organisation, liaise with the UK Supervisory Authority (the Information Commissioner’s Office) on your behalf, maintain and update your Records of Processing Activities (ROPA), and even offer data breach notification support. 

We offer a simple, no-surprise cost structure beginning from as little as £500 per month, detailed in a straightforward service contract that outlines our relationship and duties. With our expertise at your disposal, you can rest assured that your GDPR obligations are being handled efficiently, correctly, and professionally. Avoid the risk of costly fines and reputational damage by partnering with our expert team. Secure your UK GDPR representation with us and focus on what you do best – growing your business.
