By relying on our data privacy consultancy, you can pass full ownership of your data privacy activities to trusted data privacy specialists. This fundamentally simplifies the process of meeting data privacy requirements and reducing risk.
The Importance of Data Privacy Consultancy
With the skills gap limiting the number of highly experienced and qualified data privacy experts in the market, many organisations struggle to find the right people to lead or support their data privacy function. Even for those that can find the right data privacy experts, having them work in-house isn’t always the best fit scenario as they lack independence from other business functions which can create a conflict of interest.
Given the reputational risks of non-compliance with legislation and the substantial fines they can issue, ensuring that your data privacy processes are led by individuals with the right skills and experience should be a priority. Relying on Bridewell for data privacy consultancy presents a high-value alternative that provides tailored data privacy support from a trusted cyber security partner.

Data Privacy Consultancy FAQs
Data Privacy is today considered an essential part of supporting the digital economy and is increasingly receiving high levels of media attention, primarily or the wrong reasons. In the UK, the key pieces of legislation governing data protection are the UK General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) (2016/679) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Data privacy is considered a fundamental human right, and data protection legislation exists to protect that right. Data privacy is important because in order for individuals to be willing to engage with organisations, they have to have confidence that their personal data will be handled with care. Organisations are increasingly using data protection practices to demonstrate to their customers and users that they can be trusted with their personal data.
