Data Protection in the UK

The UK’s data privacy rules are primarily governed by the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018), including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). These laws aim to protect people’s personal information and give them control over how it is used.

Non-compliance to data privacy laws and UK GDPR can lead to a lot of headaches and pain for organisations. Understanding how each organisation and market sector is unique, with regard to its requirements under both data privacy legislation and professional codes of conduct, is a unique skill set we are proud of at CSRB. One data privacy size certainly does not fit all!

Our certified Data Protection Officers (DPOs) support organisations across many industries, giving you the confidence and reassurance needed to let us take care of your data privacy requirements, whilst you concentrate on running your organisation.

Organisations which take the management of personal data seriously send a clear message to individuals and businesses who deal with them that they are responsible and ethical in their interactions with customers, suppliers, and other trusted third parties.

Compliance with UK GDPR can add significant value across the customer onboarding, employee onboarding, and supplier onboarding areas of their organisation.

Our Approach

The very acronym ‘GDPR’ can instil dread and fear into most business owners!

CSRB was founded by Chris Burn (MD) in 2017 to ensure that data privacy compliance can be made achievable for all and just as important, can be made relatable to all. CSRB achieves this for our clients using clear, concise, and easy to understand language.

Chris, to this very day, is passionate about ensuring any investment into data privacy delivers a return on investment across the client, employee, and supplier onboarding areas of your organisation, instead of simply being viewed as a painful tick box exercise.

CSRB continually invests in its data privacy practitioners, who attend regular continual professional development training, to ensure we are up to date with all aspects of data privacy and information security.

Furthermore we deliver our support remotely, allowing us to spend more time supporting clients, whilst managing our environmental and sustainable impact, and being able to keep our pricing structure very competitive in a world where every pound invested needs to demonstrate a tangible return.

Put simply, we enjoy what we do, we add value, we do it with a smile on our faces, and we take that GDPR dread, fear, and pain away from business owners.

"There isn’t much Chris of CSRB does not know about GDPR! Chris completed a thorough review of all our existing business and privacy documentation and updated it as necessary. He also provided GDPR training to our team. Very practical and knowledgeable support and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. It’s also nice to work with someone who has a core value set that is similar to ours. Business as a force for good."
Business Growth Hub, North Somerset, UK
"Chris delivered online UK GDPR training over two modules, fitting this in around our operational requirements. The training involved a mixture of theory, commercial examples relevant to our market sector, and practical activities. There was plenty of time for questions and Chris answered these in a clear, concise, and easy to understand manner. Having the peace of mind, through an educated team, and the support of CSRB, is vital."
Document Management Company, Somerset, UK
"I can highly recommend Chris Burn and his team. Chris is an easy person to work with and provides a fantastic data privacy service. He is incredibly professional, organised and knowledgeable. He presented us with a simple audit report, with a ‘RAG rating’ that showed what we needed to work on. He then wrote all of the privacy documents up for us and presented them with training so that we fully understood them. Our training was excellent and we learned a lot as a team. CSRB’s services represent an excellent ROI for any business."
IT Services Provider, London, UK
"Chris is so easy to work with. He just makes data privacy so easy to understand, outlining what we ‘must’ do and what would add additional value to the business. He then gets on with all the agreed actions and delivers the support back to us in clear, concise, easy to understand, and relevant language with practical steps for implementation back into the business. I cannot begin to tell you how much stress and worry has been removed from my head!"
