GDPR and Data Protection Compliance

Handling personal data responsibly isn’t just good practice, it’s a legal requirement under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act. Kixo helps businesses put the right technical measures in place to support their data protection compliance.

GDPR compliance involves policies, processes and legal obligations that go beyond IT alone, but strong technical security is a core requirement. We focus on the practical, technical side of compliance, helping ensure personal data is stored, accessed and protected appropriately.

What we help put in place

Secure storage and access controls for systems holding personal data
Encryption for sensitive data, both in transit and at rest
Backup and disaster recovery, ensuring data isn’t permanently lost
Access logging and monitoring, so you can demonstrate who accessed what and when
Secure disposal of old hardware and data, so nothing sensitive ends up unaccounted for
Support during a data breach, including helping contain and investigate incidents

Data breaches and reporting

If a data breach does occur, businesses have strict reporting obligations, often within 72 hours. Having proper monitoring and logging in place makes it possible to understand quickly what happened and what data was affected, which is essential for meeting these obligations.

Not a substitute for legal advice

We’re IT specialists, not solicitors, and full GDPR compliance involves legal and policy elements beyond our scope. We work alongside your legal advisors or data protection officer, focusing on making sure the technical foundations of your compliance are solid.
