Why outsource your DSAR management?
Managing a complex DSAR is difficult and time consuming
Many DSARs are complex, requiring significant resources and time to manage. Our service is designed to minimise that overhead for our clients whilst ensuring that they meet their legal requirements.
What does the service cover?
There are strict requirements when if comes to communication with the data subject making the request.
We can either manage this on your behalf or ensure that your internal team are addressing the requirements relating to:
- Identification
- Residency
- Communication methods
- Managing expectations
Some data subjects are requesting a huge amount of data over a very long time scale.
We use our experience to try and minimise the scope to reduce your overhead on the production and collation of the request data.
We have years of experience in managing DSARs. Our team will advise you on the best approach to collating the request data.
We can also advise on how to address the requirements on data protection for existing employees and partners that may be involved in the requested data set.
There are strict rules to follow with regards to the appropriate redaction of personal data from the data set.
This is based upon the legal requirement to adhere to the rights and freedoms of other individuals when dealing with the request.
Note – we use the same software tool-set that many police forces use to redact the data prior to communication to the data subject.
There are legal requirements relating to the tracking and data delivery of the output from the DSAR.
We undertake this task on your behalf to ensure that your organisation is compliant with the legislation.
How do we support our clients?
Our service is based upon the handling of a specific request.
We review the request details with a prospective client and then we can provide a high level estimate of what’s involved and how much it may cost for us to manage this on their behalf.
DSARs can take literally weeks of effort and are often highly complex in nature. Our specialists can remove the hassle of managing this and allow our clients to focus on their business operations.

DSARs and how to demonstrate compliance
Effective Preparation
There needs to be a policy and procedure in place for managing DSARs. This must include training for staff and a tracking mechanism.
Follow The Rules From The Start
Do not attempt to bypass the basic rules of managing DSAR's. This can back-fire and cause you to be in breach of the data protection legislation.
Plan and Manage Data Collation
Put together a proper plan for the data collation phase of the request process. Effective planning can save significant time and money.
Effective Data Redaction
Do not short-cut the redaction process. Allowing data to be accessed that should remain confidential is an obvious breach of data protection.
Current Incentives
We are offering discounts of 10% for small DSAR requests of 15% for larger DSAR requests
