Data Audit in St Davids
Establishing what personal and business data a St Davids organisation actually holds, which is almost always more than anyone expects. The systems are the easy part; the difficulty is the exports, the shared drive folders, the old backups and the spreadsheet somebody keeps because the report they need does not exist.
Why this comes up
The problem
The records say we hold data in six systems, and there are customer exports in three shared folders and an inbox.
What you get
What we deliver
- Every location holding data identified, including the informal and forgotten ones
- What each holds recorded — categories, volumes, and whether anything is sensitive
- Retention compared against what is actually kept, since these rarely agree
- Duplicate and stale copies found, which are pure risk with no operational value
- Access reviewed, because old folders usually permit far more people than intended
- A defensible disposal plan for what should no longer exist

Data Audit in St Davids — common questions
- Why do copies matter so much?
- Because they carry the same obligations and none of the controls. An export taken for a report two years ago sits in a folder with permissions nobody has reviewed, is not covered by anyone's retention schedule, and would still have to be found and disclosed if somebody asked for their data.
- How is old data actually found?
- Partly by scanning and partly by asking. Tooling finds files matching patterns across storage, but the exports on a departed employee's drive and the reason a team keeps a parallel spreadsheet only emerge from conversations with the people doing the work.
- What is the risk of keeping too much?
- It expands what a breach costs and what a request involves. Data held beyond its purpose is difficult to justify, and an organisation holding fifteen years of records has fifteen years of exposure in exchange for information nobody has looked at since it was created.
- What does defensible disposal mean?
- Deleting with a record of why. The decision, the categories covered, the retention rule applied and the approval should all be documented, so that removing data reads as governance rather than as convenient destruction — a distinction that matters considerably if anyone later asks what happened to a particular record.
- Do you work with businesses across Pembrokeshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including St Davids and the surrounding Pembrokeshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of St Davids businesses do you usually work with?
- Simple booking and payment systems for very small hospitality and tourism operators on the Pembrokeshire coast. Beyond that we work across Tourism & Heritage, Hospitality, Agriculture, Marine and Retail.
- Do you cover the areas around St Davids?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Swansea, Cardiff. St Davids is an urban area of roughly 1,600+, and we take on work across the wider Pembrokeshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
