Commonly asked questions on UK GDPR compliance.
What is UK GDPR, and How Does It Differ from EU GDPR?
The UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) is the UK's data protection framework that came into effect post-Brexit. It mirrors the EU GDPR in many respects but has been tailored to fit the UK's legal context. Key differences include:
Regulatory Authority: The UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) oversees UK GDPR compliance, whereas the EU GDPR is enforced by supervisory authorities in each EU member state.
International Data Transfers: Post-Brexit, the UK is considered a 'third country' under EU GDPR. However, the EU has granted the UK an adequacy decision, allowing data to flow freely from the EU to the UK until June 2025, subject to review.
Fines and Penalties: While both regulations impose significant fines for non-compliance, the maximum fine under UK GDPR is £17.5 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher.
It's essential for organizations operating in both the UK and EU to understand and comply with both sets of regulations
Do UK businesses still need to comply with EU GDPR?
If you offer goods or services to EU residents or monitor their behaviour, you must comply with EU GDPR as well as UK GDPR.
UK GDPR compliance services encompass a range of solutions designed to help organizations adhere to UK data protection laws. These services typically include:
Data Audits: Assessing current data processing activities. Policy Development: Creating or updating privacy policies and procedures. Training: Educating staff on data protection principles. Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs): Evaluating high-risk processing activities. Ongoing Support: Providing guidance on maintaining compliance.
Engaging in these services helps organizations mitigate risks and demonstrate accountability.
What Is a GDPR Compliance Audit?
A systematic review of data practices, policies, and technical controls to identify gaps and ensure alignment with GDPR requirements. The audit typically involves:
Data Mapping: Identifying what personal data is collected, processed, and stored. Policy Review: Assessing the adequacy of existing data protection policies. Risk Assessment: Identifying potential vulnerabilities in data handling. Recommendations: Providing actionable steps to address compliance gaps.
Regular audits are crucial for maintaining compliance and preparing for potential regulatory inspections.
Are GDPR compliance audits mandatory?
Audits are not explicitly mandated but are considered best practice and essential for demonstrating accountability in case of an ICO investigation.
Who needs UK GDPR compliance consulting?
Any organisation processing personal data of UK residents, regardless of size or sector, can benefit from expert UK GDPR services.
Do I need a data protection cfficer (DPO) under UK GDPR?
Yes, if you’re a public authority, carry out large-scale monitoring, or process special category data on a large scale. Otherwise, you can opt instead for an external DPO.

Engaging in regular audits fosters a culture of continuous improvement in data protection practices.
Is a UK GDPR audit required for ICO investigations or inspections?
While the ICO may conduct its own audit during an investigation, having completed your own audit shows proactive compliance and can mitigate penalties.
What is the role of a UK GDPR auditor?
A GDPR auditor is responsible for:
Assessing Compliance: Evaluating an organization's adherence to GDPR requirements. Identifying Risks: Spotting potential vulnerabilities in data processing activities. Providing Recommendations: Suggesting actionable steps to address compliance gaps. Supporting Implementation: Assisting in the development and execution of compliance strategies.
