UK specialist DSAR practice

Specialist DSAR response.
Audit-defensible by design.

We only focus on subject access requests and provide a quality and affordable service. Our specialists are trained by Data Protection Officers overseeing data privacy functions at multinational, household brands. We understand the time and financial cost of dealing with these requests and use technology and expert knowledge to take away the stress from in-house teams.

What we do

Two options — complete outsourced fulfilment or advisory service.

Managed DSAR service

End-to-end DSAR fulfilment

We take the request and return a defensible response within statutory timelines. You retain the relationship with the data subject and the regulator-facing record — we handle the operational lift.

Our support:

  • Receipt, identity verification, and scope confirmation
  • Deduplication, redaction and exemption application
  • Response letter and audit-defensible record bundle

Our support:

  • Policy, procedure, and template suite build
  • Disclosure decision frameworks and playbooks
  • Regulatory engagement support
  • Training using case studies

Pricing

A fixed fee per request. Published, capped, no retainer.

A free scoping call, a written quote within one working day, and no surprises when the invoice arrives.

Standard request

£1,500 + VAT

End-to-end fulfilment of a standard subject access request, delivered inside the statutory month with a search log, exemptions log and redaction schedule you can defend.

A request is standard when it is:

  • One data subject, one organisation, one structured or single-system search
  • Up to 500 items after de-duplication; documents only — no CCTV, audio or image media
  • No live litigation or grievance behind the request
  • No special-category or criminal-offence data at volume, and no substantive exemption analysis beyond routine third-party redaction
Complex request

From £3,000, capped at £5,000 + VAT

Quoted after the scoping call, with the cap fixed in writing before we start. You will never be invoiced above the cap, whatever the request turns into.

A request is complex when any of these applies:

  • Litigation, grievance or disciplinary context
  • CCTV, audio or image redaction
  • Multi-system or unstructured search, or more than 500 items
  • Special-category or criminal-offence data at volume, or substantive DPA 2018 Schedule 2 exemption analysis

All prices exclude VAT. Fees cover the operational work of fulfilling the request; they do not include legal advice on the merits of a dispute, representing you to the ICO, or requests where system access or exports cannot be provided within five working days of instruction — we will tell you at the scoping call if any of these apply. Volume and retainer arrangements are available for organisations with regular request flow.

Why us?

Specialist by design — not by default.

Our focus is on providing a quality, quick and affordable service. We solve a headache.

01

Specialist focus

We only do DSARs. Our advantage is the innovative use of new technology, deep practical experience and the understanding of the importance of audit trails.

02

Specialist delivery

Every engagement is scoped, overseen and signed off by a senior privacy professional — someone who has led a privacy function at Data Protection Officer or director level, with both consulting and in-house experience. Specialists do the work; a senior practitioner owns the outcome.

03

Technology-enabled

Our use of workflow tooling accelerates intake, scoping, and review. Technology does the heavy lifting but our privacy specialists apply their deep knowledge to provide a quality result that is defendable and ready for release.

04

Audit trail by default

Every step in the process is logged, creating an audit trail that is clear and defendable.
