What Are Data Protection Services?

Data protection services help organisations meet their legal requirements for handling personal data under regulations such as the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

At NormCyber, we act as your outsourced data protection partner, delivering hands-on support across compliance audits, subject access requests, policy management and more.

We help you build a data privacy framework that’s resilient and aligned to your business goals – without the overhead of hiring a full-time DPO.

What’s included in our Data Protection Service

We understand that every organisation is unique. That’s why our services are tailored to your business needs.

Data Protection Officer as a Service (DPOaaS)

Our DPO support gives you access to guidance from someone who understands your business. We’ll oversee your compliance activities, advise your teams and act as your main point of contact with regulators.

GDPR Policy & Contract Reviews

We’ll help you draft, review and update your documentation so that it stays legally sound and easy to understand.

Subject Access Request (SAR) Handling

Responding to data subject requests can be a time-consuming task. We’ll offer the support you need to manage the process from start to finish – making sure responses are handled correctly and on time.

Data Breach Management

If a breach happens, we’ll step in to help you take swift and appropriate action, helping you reduce the risk of legal or reputational damage.

Staff Training & Awareness

We offer dedicated training to help your staff understand the importance of data protection in their day-to-day roles. That way, you can build a culture of compliance across your organisation.

When it comes to assessing data risks, we’re here to guide you through it. We support you in carrying out Data Protection Impact Assessments and risk assessments, making sure they’re done in line with regulatory expectations.

“This is when we had a lightbulb moment – to outsource the role of the DPO – rather than hire a new one internally. The benefits of such a move seemed clear: a virtual DPO would be sufficiently experienced right from the start, available to us as and when required and – crucially – would operate within budget.”

Data Protection Services FAQs

What Are Data Protection Services?

Data protection services are a range of measures geared towards the safeguarding of information against loss, corruption and unauthorised access. These services include:

Backup and Recovery
Creating copies of data in case of loss or corruption for quick restoration.

Disaster Recovery
Designing solutions to ensure business continuity in the event of a data incident.

Access Control
Implementing measures to restrict data access based on role.

Data Governance
Establishing policies and procedures for how data is managed to ensure compliance.

Together, these services are key to protecting data and complying with regulatory requirements.

Why Are Data Protection Services Important?

Data protection laws like UK GDPR impose requirements on how data is collected, stored and processed. Compliance with these laws is key to avoiding fines and the reputational damage that comes with them. Data protection strategies, like backup and recovery, also bolster your ability to continue regular operations when faced with an ongoing cyber incident.

How Do Data Protection Services Support GDPR Compliance?

Data protection services help organisations achieve GDPR compliance by ensuring that data is handled lawfully, transparently and securely. At NormCyber, we offer a range of data protection services to help you:

  • Monitor and manage data access
  • Encrypt sensitive information
  • Track usage and activity
  • Enable easy data subject access requests
  • Ensure data retention policies are followed
  • Provide breach detection and response mechanisms
  • Our data protection services also include staff training and awareness programmes to build a strong culture of data privacy, along with expert support for conducting and documenting data protection impact assessments (DPIAs).

    How Can Staff Be Trained on Data Protection?

    Staff can be trained effectively on data protection measures through a combination of methods. Training typically covers key principles like GDPR compliance, data handling and breach prevention. It’s often delivered through a mix of onboarding modules, refresher courses and interactive e-learning, with training tailored to different roles and responsibilities within your organisation.

    How Often Should Data Protection Policies Be Reviewed?

    Data protection policies should be reviewed at least once a year to ensure they’re aligned with data protection laws and the evolving threat landscape. That said, it may be worth revisiting your policies sooner than that in the following situations:

  • After significant regulatory changes
  • Following a data breach or security incident
  • When introducing new systems or activities
  • During internal audits or risk assessments
  • Regular reviews keep your organisation ahead of threats, maintaining compliance and adapting quickly to new data protection standards. It also signals to regulators and internal stakeholders that you take data protection seriously.
