Data Protection Services
Data Protection compliance is a key area for any business, no matter its industry or manner of business.
Most, if not all, businesses handle some kind of personal data, ranging from internal employee records, external client lists or even as part of supplier contract relationships.
And if personal data is held, then the business must comply with the UK data protection regime, comprising of UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003. These regulations are lengthy and can be difficult to wade through.

FAQs
Unfortunately so – compliance is relevant to all businesses of any size who handle personal data as part of their ongoing course of business. The level of registration with the ICO may differ for you as opposed to a much larger business handling much higher levels of personal data, but the rules still apply. In any event, Omny Law can assist you, no matter your size, in navigating the waters of data protection compliance.
The ICO has in its powers to fine businesses that are found not to be compliant or to have caused a breach. Further, company directors can be found at fault and held liable. Of course, the ICO’s course of action is context-specific, but in our experience it is better to be safe than sorry. With Omny Law though, we can help you in your compliance, which drastically reduces the chances of a breach occurring.
