Facial recognition compliance
From the first question (should we?) to the last (can we prove it?).
Facial recognition processes biometric data, which the UK GDPR treats as special category data, and it does so about people who may not have chosen to be scanned. That places it at the top of the regulator’s list of concerns. It can still be deployed lawfully, but only if the reasoning is sound, the safeguards are real and the evidence exists before anyone asks for it.

Outsourced Data Protection Officer
A Data Protection Officer with the independence the law requires and the experience a board expects.
Many organisations that process special category or criminal offence data at scale, or monitor people systematically, are legally required to appoint a DPO. Many others benefit from having one. The role demands independence, expert knowledge and a direct line to the board, which is hard to find in-house and costly to hire.

Data governance & AI
Governance that lets you use data and AI with confidence.
Good governance does not slow you down. It is what allows you to move quickly without being caught out later. We help organisations map their data, set clear rules for sharing and automated decision-making, and take advantage of the flexibility the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 introduces without exposing themselves to its sharper penalties.

ICO investigations & breach response
When the regulator calls, the account you give must be true, complete and consistent. We help you make it so.
The cost of getting a breach or an investigation wrong has risen sharply. Fines are fewer but far larger. The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 also gives the ICO power to require individuals to attend interviews and answer questions. Anyone present when an incident was assessed can now be asked what happened, including after they have left the organisation.
