Frequently asked questions
Do we need to be registered with the ICO?
Many UK businesses that handle personal information must register with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and pay a data protection fee. However, some businesses are exempt, depending on how they use personal data. CyberKarl can help you understand your obligations, check whether registration is required and ensure you’re meeting your responsibilities under UK data protection law.
What is a DPIA and when is it needed?
A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) helps businesses identify and reduce privacy risks before introducing new systems, technologies or ways of handling personal information. A DPIA is required when processing is likely to create a high risk to people’s rights and freedoms. This can include certain uses of artificial intelligence, sensitive personal information or large-scale monitoring. CyberKarl can guide you through the process, helping you protect people’s information while meeting your legal obligations.
How much does privacy support cost?
Every business is different, so our services are tailored to your needs and budget. Whether you need a one-off GDPR compliance review, help developing privacy policies, a DPIA or ongoing data protection support, we’ll recommend a practical and affordable approach. We provide clear proposals and transparent pricing, so you understand what you’re paying for without unnecessary services or hidden surprises.
Can you help with a data breach?
Yes. If your business experiences a personal data breach, CyberKarl can help you understand what has happened, assess the risks, coordinate the response and determine what needs to be reported. Certain breaches must be reported to the ICO within 72 hours of becoming aware of them, where feasible. We can also help you identify improvements to reduce the likelihood of similar incidents happening again.
