Data Protection

GDPR Legislation & Compliance

Under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, all organisations, regardless of size, must handle personal data lawfully, transparently, and securely.

Who's Affected?

Every UK business that processes personal data is subject to GDPR. HR departments are especially impacted, as they manage sensitive employee information daily.

Key Dates

Although GDPR originated in the EU and came into force on 25 May 2018, the UK retained its own version post-Brexit. The UK GDPR now works alongside the Data Protection Act 2018, and compliance remains mandatory.

Non-Compliance Risks

Failure to comply can result in:

  • Fines of up to £17.5 million or 4% of annual global turnover
  • Reputational damage
  • Legal action from employees or regulators
