As the UK data protection environment continues to evolve, small and medium-sized enterprises face increasing pressure to stay compliant while managing limited resources. This practical, business-focused webinar will help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) understand how to navigate GDPR obligations efficiently and confidently.

We’ll explore how data subject access requests (DSARs) can be transformed from an administrative burden into an opportunity to strengthen transparency, trust, and operational data management. Beyond DSARs, we will unpack the full spectrum of data subject rights, highlighting what SMEs often overlook and how to address these gaps proactively.

Attendees will gain actionable insights and hands-on guidance on building or refining a resilient compliance framework that works in real-world SME settings. Whether you’re new to GDPR responsibilities or seeking to improve your organisation’s existing processes, this session provides clear, practical value.

  • DSARs – A Business Burden or a Data Protection Opportunity?

  • Beyond Access: The Full Spectrum of Data Subject Rights
    • Rights that often catch SMEs off guard: erasure, rectification, portability
