Our Data Protection pack has all of the necessary documentation personalised to your needs. Cost £117 .... or £177 if we also do the registration for you.
Not recording?
If you have a CCTV system that does not use any recording method, but even so you are processing personal data, you still have to conform to the Act. You still need to comply with all of the rules that are relevant to your system, and consequently you must register and you must document your use of the system. We supply a specially reduced Data Pack for non-recording systems, priced at £77 ... or £137 if we register for you.
Need Assistance?
We have tried to give you as much information as possible, in a simplified way, but ultimately you might need to clarify your own situation. We are able to offer on-site training and guidance to help you comply with the Act, and ensure that your staff know exactly what their duties are in respect of the handling of data subjects.
The price is by quotation, and depends on your location and size of company.

Adopting all of these principles is straightforward and sensible.
We take all of the effort out of registration by doing it for you, and at the same time we provide you with everything you need to operate a quality system that encompasses all of the recommendations and the law.
