Most data incidents are not sophisticated attacks.
They are an email sent to the wrong recipient, a spreadsheet exported that should never have left the system, or a marketing list used for something it was never collected for. Policies do not prevent those; people who understand why the rules exist do.
Training is also evidence where the ICO looks at an incident, as documented and recent training is one of the things that separates a business taking its obligations seriously from one that is not.
We deliver practical data protection training, tailored to the audience rather than delivered as a generic module.
Typical sessions cover:
- all-staff awareness: what personal data is, and the everyday mistakes;
- marketing teams: consent, the soft opt-in and PECR;
- HR teams: employee data, references and subject access;
- customer-facing teams: spotting a rights request that arrives as a complaint; and
- leadership: accountability, breach decisions and what you are signing off.
Sessions are scenario-led, built around examples from your business, and short enough to survive real diaries. They run remotely or in person, and we can provide the materials and a record of attendance so the training is evidenced as well as delivered.
Our Approach
Legal advice that makes running and growing your business easier.
We start with your business, not the law.
Before we open a document, we want to understand what you are trying to do commercially. The legal answer is only useful if it serves that.
We get to the point.
You get a clear view of what matters and what does not, in plain English, with the real risks separated from the noise.
We give you an answer.
Not a menu of options and a shrug. We tell you what we would do, why, and where there is a genuine judgment call for you to make.
We stay available.
Whether you work with us on a single project or on a subscription, we are here for the follow-up question. We would always rather you asked.
