The General Data Protection Regulation sets the standard for how organisations collect, process, and protect personal data. Primelo Cyber provides end-to-end GDPR advisory, from initial data mapping and gap analysis through to sustained compliance and breach readiness.
The General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR and EU GDPR) governs how organisations handle personal data of individuals. It applies to any organisation that processes personal data of UK or EU residents, regardless of where the organisation is based.
Compliance requires demonstrable accountability across data governance, lawful processing, individual rights fulfilment, security controls, and breach management. The ICO and EU supervisory authorities actively enforce the regulation, with fines of up to GBP 17.5 million or 4% of global annual turnover.
GDPR compliance effort varies significantly based on the volume and sensitivity of personal data processed, the number of processing activities, third-party data sharing arrangements, and existing governance maturity. The ranges below provide practical planning benchmarks.
Typical timeline: 2 to 4 months to reach compliance readiness.
Key focus: privacy notices, lawful basis documentation, basic RoPA, SAR procedures, and supplier data processing agreements.
Typical timeline: 3 to 6 months, particularly where marketing, HR, and customer data processing require detailed mapping.
Key focus: comprehensive RoPA, cookie and consent management, DPIA programme, and cross-functional data governance.
Typical timeline: 4 to 9 months with coordination across legal, IT, marketing, HR, and product teams.
Key focus: DPO appointment or outsourcing, international transfer mechanisms, vendor risk assessments, and privacy-by-design integration.
Typical timeline: 6 to 14 months for multi-jurisdiction programmes with complex data ecosystems.
Key focus: binding corporate rules, global privacy programme governance, automated decision-making controls, and regulatory engagement strategy.
Organisations processing special category data (health, biometric, genetic, political opinions) face stricter requirements including mandatory DPIAs and explicit consent obligations.
Every processor and sub-processor relationship requires documented data processing agreements, due diligence, and ongoing monitoring of compliance obligations.
Cross-border data transfers add complexity through adequacy assessments, transfer impact assessments, and the need for appropriate legal mechanisms under both UK and EU regimes.
Legacy systems, SaaS sprawl, and shadow IT increase the difficulty of maintaining accurate data inventories and enforcing retention and deletion policies across all processing environments.
