SENIOR RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL

Looking for advice?

overview

Ensure Compliance
with a Senior Responsible Individual

Are you concerned about having a Senior Responsible Individual (SRI) who can take responsibility for your organisation’s data protection compliance? Do you need additional support to comply with the existing legislation and proposed changes included in the Data Protection and Digital Information (DPDI) Bill? If so, that’s where we come in. We understand that not every organisation has the resources or expertise to maintain an in-house data protection expert. We offer outsourcing services to support your designated SRI on a temporary or ongoing basis. 

Before the DPDI Bill becomes law, you can use our Outsourced Data Protection Officer or Data Protection Manager Support services in the interim. 

Engaging external support for your Senior Responsible Individual can be a cost-effective and efficient way to ensure that your organisation is complying with the new regulations while allowing you to focus on your core business activities. We can assist with all functions of your privacy management program, in addition to providing independent legal advice and support when required. We also utilise our unique Skills Transfer model to ensure your designated SRI acquires the relevant expertise to be able to properly perform their functions. 

Our team of experienced professionals will work closely with you to understand your specific data protection needs and help you develop a comprehensive strategy to ensure compliance with UK GDPR, Data Protection Act, EU GDPR (if needed), and other relevant regulations. Our services start from as little as £500 per month. Get in touch with us today to see if we are the right fit for your organisation.
