The UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 govern personal data in the UK, enforced by the Information Commissioner’s Office. They mirror the EU GDPR with UK-specific provisions on transfers, exemptions and enforcement, and continue to evolve through UK reform legislation.

We extend your GDPR programme to the UK, including transfer mechanisms such as the International Data Transfer Agreement and UK addendum.

## Who it is for

- Organisations with UK customers, users or employees
- Processors serving UK clients

## Benefits

- One programme covering EU and UK
- Lawful UK transfers

## How Secure iQube helps

1. **Applicability and scoping**: Confirm whether and how the law applies to you, entities, data, systems, roles and territories.
2. **Data and process mapping**: Build a record of processing or control inventory so obligations can be tied to real systems and owners.
3. **Gap assessment**: Measure current practice against each obligation and rank the gaps by legal and business risk.
4. **Remediation roadmap**: Policies, notices, contracts, technical controls and governance, sequenced so the highest risks close first.
5. **Evidence and ongoing monitoring**: A compliance calendar, metrics and periodic reviews so you can demonstrate compliance to a regulator or customer at any time.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do we need separate UK and EU representatives?

Organisations outside both the UK and EU that are in scope of both may need a representative in each.
