UK GDPR

What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the UK’s core data protection framework and sits alongside the Data Protection Act 2018. It’s designed to provide better individual control over how personal information is collected, stored, and used. UK GDPR applies to all organisations processing personal data in the UK, no matter whether the data belongs to customers, employees, suppliers, or even website visitors.

 

The regulation lays out clear principles for handling personal information lawfully, fairly, and securely. It also strengthens individual rights, including the right to access personal data, request corrections, and ask for information to be deleted in certain circumstances.

 

For businesses, GDPR compliance is about more than meeting legal requirements. It helps build trust, improve transparency, and demonstrate accountability in the way your organisation manages data.

GDPR

What are your organisation’s obligations under GDPR?

Under UK GDPR, organisations are responsible for protecting personal data and ensuring it is processed lawfully and securely. Your obligations will depend on the type of data you handle and how it is used within your business.

 

For most businesses, key responsibilities include maintaining clear privacy policies, identifying a lawful basis for processing data, keeping accurate records, implementing appropriate security measures, and responding correctly to data subject requests. Businesses must also ensure staff understand their responsibilities and that any third-party suppliers handling data on their behalf meet compliance standards. Additionally, organisations must be able to demonstrate compliance, not simply claim they comply.

 

In some cases, organisations might also need to carry out Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO), or report data breaches to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) within strict timeframes.

How our GDPR consultants can help you

Compliance that builds trust

In today’s data-driven world, complying with UK GDPR isn’t just about avoiding fines, it’s about showing your clients, customers, and partners that their privacy matters. Strong data protection helps to build confidence with customers, suppliers, regulators and business partners.

Clear policies that set the standard

We create and implement bespoke Data Protection Policies tailored to your operations and regulatory obligations. These documents form the foundation of your compliance framework and demonstrate your commitment to privacy and accountability.

Training that brings compliance to life

Our GDPR training is practical, engaging, and relevant, helping employees at all levels understand lawful processing, individual rights, and their daily responsibilities. Sessions are available online or in person and can be tailored to your team.

Tools for prevention and response

We conduct DPIAs, regular compliance reviews and internal audits to assess high-risk processing and identify areas of improvement before issues arise. We also provide a structured Data Breach Register and Incident Response Process to ensure you’re prepared to act swiftly and lawfully in the event of a breach.

Getting Data Protection wrong risks fines, reputational damage, and lost trust.
We make sure you get it right.

What can I say

What can I say, these guys have been amazing. The whole process of attaining FCA authorisation has been so drawn out and complicated, there is no way that I would ever achieved it without the expert help of Shaun initially and then Jade. First class service, always there to help and have always responded very quickly and professionally to every question and query, ensuring I got through the process successfully. Thank you!

Absolutely brilliant dealing with Jade

Absolutely brilliant dealing with Jade. I found her very professional. She made the process of getting my FCA Accreditation very straightforward, going through every step, leaving nothing to chance. Without doubt I would not have got it without her help and patience.

Excellent service received by Jonnie

Jonnie at The Compliance Guys assisted with our FCA application and documents and helpfully guided us through the process. Her help was invaluable and much appreciated. Jonnie answered all questions asked by FCA. We would highly recommend The Compliance Guys and would use their services again and again. Thank you

Exceptional support and mentoring

Timely, comprehensive and friendly support throughout the FCA authorisation process. TCG coaching, supporting documentation production, auditing and ongoing advice has been exceptional. We have experienced a frictionless and expeditious route to authorisation as a direct result of partnering with TCG. Particular thanks to Jade Kelly, without whose clear, jargon free, friendly and bespoke mentoring we would have been unable to navigate the auth process effectively and to Joel Knight for his assistance in navigating and leveraging the Klassify CRM system to best support our needs.

You've got questions.
We've got answers.

In almost all cases, yes. The most common exclusions are if you are offering less than 12 payments over less than 12 months and charge no interest or if you are only selling to limited companies. You can contact us for a no obligation chat about what permission you need and what it would cost.

The FCA state that for a standard Limited Permission application it can take up to six months once they deem it complete and up to 12 months in total. Our current processing time is an average well within six months but this is influenced by the accuracy of the information you provide to us, how well you engage in the process and how straightforward your case is for the FCA to assess.

Before we take on any client, we discuss your eligibility and satisfy ourselves that you qualify for authorisation. It is however the FCA’s decision to approve you or not and so if you omit to notify us any information that could harm your application we cannot be liable for that. We often advise potential clients to not to proceed as our expert experience knows they would be rejected, we’d rather you keep your money and be honest.

Immediately, though it may take around 24 Hours to show on the FCA Register.

You are free to use whoever you wish but at The Compliance Guys Ltd we have established, unburdened relationships with Lenders and Brokers who are specialists in the sector you are working in and we will gladly put you in contact with these…not only that, but while you’re waiting for authorisation you get FREE access to our compliance CRM and use of our Test Drive APP!!

Yes, the FCA charge an small annual fee, ask you to report to their Gabriel system and confirm your firms details annually. At The Compliance Guys Ltd we can set up a monthly Direct Debit for us to take full control of these so you never have to worry – or get fined! The Compliance Guys Ltd offer on going monthly compliance packages starting from just £59 + VAT per month.

Your FCA Authorisation can’t expire, but it can be revoked!!  if you fail to pay your ongoing fee’s and file your reports then this will happen… but hey!! That’s why you’ll get us to do it for you.
