Data Protection Consulting in Lincoln
Practical UK GDPR work for Lincoln organisations. Compliance here is less about policy documents than about knowing what personal data you hold and why — most organisations discover during the first exercise that they hold considerably more, for far longer, than anyone assumed.
Why this comes up
The problem
There is a privacy policy copied from somewhere and little else. Nobody could answer a subject access request within the deadline or say where all the personal data sits.
What you get
What we deliver
- A record of what personal data you hold, where, and on what lawful basis
- Retention periods set and actually applied, since indefinite storage is the norm
- A subject access request process that can meet the statutory deadline
- Processor agreements with suppliers who handle data on your behalf
- DPIAs where processing is high risk, which is a legal requirement not best practice
- A breach process aligned to the 72-hour reporting obligation

Data Protection Consulting in Lincoln — common questions
- Where should we start?
- With what you actually hold. Every other obligation depends on it — you cannot set retention, answer an access request or assess risk without knowing where personal data lives. Policies written before that exercise describe an organisation you may not be.
- How long do we have for a subject access request?
- One month from receipt, extendable in limited circumstances. Most organisations discover the difficulty is finding the data rather than the deadline itself — personal data spread across email, shared drives and several systems takes longer to assemble than anyone expects.
- Do we need a Data Protection Officer?
- Only in defined circumstances — public authorities, large-scale monitoring, or large-scale special category processing. Many organisations do not require one formally, though someone still needs to own this. Appointing a DPO unnecessarily brings statutory obligations with it.
- What if we have a breach?
- Report to the ICO within 72 hours of becoming aware where the risk threshold is met, and tell affected individuals where the risk to them is high. Deciding who assesses that and how, before it happens, is what makes the deadline achievable.
- Do you work with businesses across Lincolnshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Lincoln and the surrounding Lincolnshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Lincoln businesses do you usually work with?
- Agri-food traceability and processing systems, and engineering supply chain integration on long procurement timelines. Beyond that we work across Agriculture, Food Production, Engineering, Higher Education and Defence.
- Do you cover the areas around Lincoln?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Nottingham, Peterborough, Sheffield. Lincoln is an urban area of roughly 130,000+, and we take on work across the wider Lincolnshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
