The UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 form the post-Brexit data protection framework. The ICO can impose fines of up to £17.5 million or 4% of global annual turnover for serious breaches — and organisations must report qualifying personal data breaches within 72 hours.
The framework demands documented processes, privacy by design, and demonstrable accountability: lawful bases for processing, data subject rights handling, Article 32 technical measures, and properly contracted processors. Compliance is not a one-off project — it is an operating discipline.
P2P CyberDefence builds data protection programmes that are sustainable, audit-ready, and proportionate to your organisation's size and risk.
"A DPO is mandatory for public authorities and organisations doing large-scale monitoring or special category processing. Our DPO-as-a-Service provides the same accountability at a fraction of a full-time hire."DPO as a ServiceQualified, experienced, on flexible retainer
A breach or complaint triggers an ICO investigation. We implement demonstrable accountability frameworks that satisfy regulator expectations.
SARs arrive without a process and consume staff time. We design SAR handling with templates, data maps, and escalation procedures.
SaaS tools used without Article 28 agreements create liability. We audit your supplier list and put proper DPAs in place.
Consent that fails PECR and UK GDPR requirements risks ICO action and list invalidation. We design compliant consent mechanisms with audit trails.
Post-Schrems II transfers to non-adequate countries need SCCs and Transfer Impact Assessments. We assess flows and document the mechanisms.
Organisations that need a DPO often cannot justify a full-time hire. Our DPO-as-a-Service provides a qualified officer on flexible retainer.
Document all personal data flows and create the mandatory Article 30 Record of Processing Activities.
