We offer a flexible solution to be able to ensure you have access to the ad-hoc support you need.

Museum Wales approached DPAS, looking for Subject Access Redaction support.
DPAS carried out the conversion and redaction for Museum Wales ensuring they were provided with full explanations regarding the decisions made when choosing which data to redact.

When faced with a complex Subject Access Request we went out to the market to look for a provider that had the knowledge and experience to complete the data conversion and redaction on our behalf.
We were impressed with the team at DPAS from the offset and entrusted them to deliver the required redacted documents within the legal timeframes and had every confidence in their advice. We wouldn’t hesitate using the team at DPAS again
Our experienced team of data protection consultants will be available to provide expert advice and guidance on SAR-related matters. Whether you require assistance with interpreting complex requests, understanding legal requirements, or determining the appropriate response, our experts are here to support you.
The SAR Lite Service offers a flexible monthly allowance of SAR hours tailored to your organisation’s needs. This allocation enables you to utilise our expert resources for SAR-related matters throughout the month, giving you the freedom to focus on other core activities while ensuring compliance and efficiency.
We recognise the legal complexities surrounding SARs and their implications for organisations. Our service includes access to legal support, ensuring that your SAR responses align with data protection regulations, including GDPR requirements. Our team of experts will assist in addressing any legal challenges that may arise during the SAR process.
We believe in empowering organisations to handle SARs more effectively. As part of the service, we offer collaborative sessions to enhance your team’s understanding of SAR handling best practices, redaction techniques, and data protection compliance. This knowledge transfer ensures that your team can build capabilities and improve SAR handling processes in the long term.
If your organisation has an existing team responsible for redaction, our service provides an additional layer of assurance. As part of the monthly allowance, our experts are able to review and provide quality control checks on the redacted information to ensure accuracy and compliance with data protection standards.
Once our quality control checks are completed, the feedback and findings will be promptly communicated to your organisation’s redaction team. This feedback loop ensures that any identified areas for improvement in the redaction process are addressed and implemented.
By collaborating closely with your team, we aim to enhance their skills and expertise, further improving the accuracy and compliance of your SAR responses. Our goal is to work hand in hand with your organisation’s redaction team, fostering continuous improvement and ensuring a seamless SAR handling process.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Easy to understand data privacy and information security services that are always accessable, consistenty pragmatic and continually exceeding expectations.
Keeping up to date with changes in data protection regulations, and best practices, can often be challenging for organisations. By outsourcing to an expert consultancy like us, organisations can access data protection professionals and lawyers who stay current with the latest developments, case law, and have the subject matter expertise to support your organisation.
Outsourcing allows your organisation to scale up requirements as needed, without the commitment of a full-time, or part-time, employee. We have the capacity and capability to hit the ground running and support your organisation whenever you need it, so you can focus on your core business activities — whilst we ensure that your data protection requirements are being met.
We have a wealth of experience delivering data protection and information security projects and training, to public, private, and third sectors. We understand that each organisation faces its own challenges, and always provide tailored solutions to meet your specific requirements.
We are extremely competitive, and our work consistently exceeds our customers’ expectations. Instead of hiring and maintaining an in-house team or seeking external legal advice, we’ll work closely with you to develop a customised plan that meets your specific needs, and budget.
We work with you to identify any potential threats and take steps to mitigate them, reducing the risk of reputational damage and compliance fines. With our up-to-date knowledge on current issues facing data protection and information security we can take proactive measures to safeguard your data.
