Data Protection Services for Privacy, Security and Compliance
KEWDATA helps organisations find the personal data they hold, protect it, and show they handle it lawfully. Our team covers data privacy, data security, compliance, and privacy in AI, so you can start with one service and add more as your needs change.
Our Service Areas
Each area below opens with the business problem it solves, so you can match your situation to the right service.
Data Protection and GDPR
You need to show regulators, clients and investors that you handle personal data lawfully, but your records and policies have not kept pace with how the business uses data. Our GDPR compliance services close that gap with audits, risk assessments, training and an outsourced Data Protection Officer.
- GDPR & Privacy Audits: A clear picture of where you meet UK GDPR and where you do not, with fixes ranked by risk.
- DPIA & Privacy Risk Assessments: Risks on new projects assessed and documented before processing starts.
- DSAR Handling & GDPR Support: Subject access requests answered on time, with exemptions applied correctly.
- Privacy & GDPR Training: Staff who recognise a data protection issue and know who to tell.
- AI & LLM Data Protection: AI tools checked against UK GDPR and the EU AI Act before launch.
- DPO as a Service: An outsourced DPO who advises and monitors, while your organisation stays responsible.
Data Security
Sensitive data spreads across databases, cloud storage and SaaS tools faster than access rules keep up, and you cannot protect data you have not found. Our data security services locate that data first, then protect it with encryption, tokenisation, masking and monitoring.
- Data Discovery: A map of where personal and sensitive data is stored, including copies nobody knew about.
- Data Encryption: Data that stays unreadable if a device, database or file is lost or stolen.
- Data Tokenisation: Card numbers and identifiers replaced with tokens, so fewer systems hold real values.
- Data Masking: Realistic test and development data with sensitive values hidden.
- Data Auditing and Monitoring: A record of who accessed what, with alerts on unusual activity.
Data Privacy
Your teams want to use customer data for analytics, testing or sharing with partners, but raw personal data carries risk wherever it goes. Our data privacy services reduce that risk by removing or separating identifying details, so the data stays useful and the people behind it stay protected.
- Data Anonymisation: Data with the link to individuals removed, ready for research and reporting outside UK GDPR.
- Data Pseudonymisation: Identifiers separated from records, so analysts work safely while keys stay locked away.
Privacy in AI
AI projects can pull personal data into training sets, prompts and outputs before anyone checks the lawful basis or the risk of biased results. Our team reviews how your AI uses personal data, puts governance around it, and tests for unfair outcomes. AI governance forms part of our wider data governance services.
- AI Data Privacy: Personal data in training sets, prompts, and outputs identified and handled lawfully.
- AI Governance: Named owners, approvals, and records for each AI system you run.
- Ethics and Bias: Checks for discriminatory or unexplainable outcomes before they reach customers.
Compliance
Customers, insurers and regulators ask for evidence against named standards, not general assurances. Our cybersecurity compliance services prepare you for the frameworks they ask about and show where one set of controls can cover several requirements.
- Cyber Essentials (Plus): Readiness for the UK government-backed certification scheme.
- PCI DSS: Controls for card payment data, checked against the standard.
- GDPR: A working compliance programme under UK GDPR and EU GDPR.
- ISO 27001: An information security management system prepared for certification.
- DORA: Digital operational resilience for financial entities operating in the EU.
- HIPAA: Safeguards for US health data and Business Associate Agreements.
Managed Services and Outsourced Roles
Some organisations need ongoing cover rather than a one-off project, but cannot justify a full-time data protection or security hire. Our managed compliance services give you that cover through a monthly plan run by our senior team.
- Data Security as a Service (DSaaS): Discovery, classification, encryption, access control, and monitoring on an ongoing basis.
- Virtual DPO (vDPO): Data protection leadership without a full-time hire.
- Virtual CISO (vCISO): Senior security oversight for your board and teams on a fractional basis.
- GDPR EU Representative: The EU representative that Article 27 of EU GDPR requires for overseas firms serving EU clients.
Where to Start?
You do not need to know which service you need before you contact us. Match your situation to the first step our team recommends.
| Your situation | Where we start |
|---|---|
| You have never had a formal GDPR check, or the business has changed since the last one | A GDPR and privacy audit |
| A client has sent a security or privacy questionnaire you cannot fully answer | Data discovery, followed by audit or Cyber Essentials |
| Someone has made a subject access request | DSAR support |
| You are launching a product, system or AI tool that uses personal data | A DPIA, or AI & LLM data protection review |
| You have had a data breach or a near miss | Incident support, then targeted review of what failed |
| You need someone to own data protection but cannot justify a full-time role | An outsourced DPO or vDPO |
| You hold card or health data and want to limit exposure | Encryption, tokenisation or masking |
If your situation is not listed, or covers several rows, we will work out the sequence on the call. Privacy compliance services work better in sequence than all at once, so we suggest a starting point rather than an expensive bundle. The call is free and lasts 30 minutes.
