Subject access requests, handled. Faster, safer, on time.
Train your team to remove other people's personal data automatically, buy our UK names dictionary, or hand the whole request to our experts.
Every SAR is a race against the clock
Answering a subject access request means finding every record about the person, then removing the names and details of everyone else, page by page. One large request can take a person weeks, and a single missed name can be a data breach.
1 month to respond, extendable by up to 2 more months only for complex or numerous requests
Every other person's details must be checked before anything is sent
One missed name can mean a complaint to the ICO
