Data Protection Consultancy
For most UK organisations, GDPR compliance still begins and ends with a privacy notice on the website and a policy nobody reads. That satisfies the minimum, but it leaves real gaps, in how data is mapped, how risk is assessed, and how the business would respond if something went wrong. As an independent GDPR consultancy, UK organisations turn to ICA Consultancy when they want data protection to be a genuine capability, not a compliance exercise.
What Our Data Protection Consultancy Service Covers
We work with organisations to understand what personal data they hold, why they hold it, and where the risk actually sits, then build the practical controls needed to manage it under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who We Work With
Our clients are typically small and mid-sized organisations, businesses that need genuine data protection capability but do not need, or cannot yet justify, a full-time Data Protection Officer. We also support private equity portfolio companies that need consistent data protection standards applied across the portfolio.
Our Approach
We do not deliver generic template policies. Every engagement starts with understanding how your organisation actually processes data, then builds proportionate controls around that reality. The goal is a data protection framework that your team can maintain, that stands up to scrutiny, and that supports the business rather than obstructing it.
Where organisations need ongoing support rather than a one-off project, we offer retained advisory arrangements — giving you access to experienced data protection expertise as and when you need it, without the overhead of a permanent hire. It's this proportionate, embedded way of working that sets our GDPR consultancy UK clients rely on apart from a one-size-fits-all compliance vendor.
