Subject Access Request Support

Simplify SAR Compliance: Expert Barrister Support

Subject Access Requests are becoming increasingly complex and frequent and without proper support, even well-intentioned businesses can face regulatory action from the ICO, reputational damage, and significant financial penalties for SAR mishandling.

Our in-house barristers have advised on thousands of SARs and can support you through the procedures, protocols and answer any questions that you may have during the process. 

With our help, you will be able to manage complex SAR cases within the one-month calendar response deadline.

The Challenge of Subject Access Requests

While every individual has the right to access their personal data, dealing with SARs within your organisation can be overwhelming and take up precious time and resources.

One Month Deadline

UK GDPR requires responses within one month. Failing to meet this deadline can trigger ICO enforcement action and significant fines.

Complex Documentation

SARs can involve thousands of documents, emails, and sensitive data. Mistakes like disclosing third-party data are common and legally risky.

Data Breach Risk

Mishandling SARs can accidentally lead to disclosing other people's personal data - this is classified as a data breach.

ICO Investigations

SAR mishandling is one of the most common triggers for ICO complaints and investigations, putting your business at risk.

What our clients say

More
“Without Briefed's guidance, we would have been completely lost...I had an idea, and of course, I’d received training on SARs, but until you get one, you’re never quite sure what you should and shouldn’t be doing, and I wanted to approach it in a very cautious way. I didn’t want to breach any confidentiality…that was my biggest concern.
