• ICO notification requirements (72-hour window)

1. Complete checkout
2. Receive and complete our detailed questionnaire (sent within 24 hours)
3. Our UK solicitor drafts your policy based on your responses
4. You receive the draft for review
5. Request any amendments (included in the price)

Express delivery (1 business day) is available for urgent requirements.

Question 3

Who drafts the Data Breach Policy?

Accepted Answer

Your policy is drafted by experienced UK solicitors who specialise in data protection and cyber incident response.

Our team has:
• Extensive experience advising on UK GDPR and ICO guidance
• Practical knowledge of breach notification requirements
• Background working with organisations across various sectors
• Understanding of both legal compliance and operational implementation

Every policy is reviewed and approved by a qualified UK solicitor before delivery.

Question 4

How do you gather the information needed?

Accepted Answer

After checkout, we'll email you a structured questionnaire covering:

• Your systems and IT infrastructure
• Data categories and processing activities
• Current security and incident response procedures
• Roles and responsibilities across your organisation
• Escalation routes and decision-making authority
• External processors or third-party dependencies

The questionnaire takes 15-30 minutes to complete and ensures we capture all the details needed to draft an accurate, tailored policy. You can also provide additional context in a brief call with our team if helpful.

Question 5

Are revisions included in the price?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After receiving your draft policy, you can request reasonable revisions at no additional cost.

This includes:
• Adjusting procedures to better fit your workflows
• Adding or modifying escalation routes
• Clarifying specific steps or responsibilities
• Fine-tuning notification templates

Our goal is to deliver a policy you can implement immediately. We'll work with you until it's right.

Question 6

Can I speak with a solicitor about the policy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After receiving your policy, you can schedule a 30-minute consultation with the solicitor who drafted it to discuss:

• Implementation and training requirements
• Integration with existing security procedures
• Specific scenarios or edge cases
• Regulatory obligations and ICO expectations

This consultation is included in the service at no extra charge.

Question 7

What makes this different from template policies?

Accepted Answer

Template policies are generic and often don't reflect your specific:
• Systems architecture and security controls
• Roles, reporting lines, and decision-making authority
• Data categories and processing risks
• Industry-specific obligations

Our custom policy is drafted specifically for your organisation, with:
✓ Tailored procedures that match your operational reality
✓ Named roles and escalation routes
✓ Specific notification thresholds and timelines
✓ Templates adapted to your context
✓ Legal review by a UK solicitor

A custom policy is easier to implement, more likely to be followed during a real incident, and provides better regulatory protection.

Question 8

Does this cover ICO notification requirements?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The policy includes comprehensive guidance on:

• The 72-hour notification window and how to assess it
• What information the ICO requires
• When notification is mandatory vs. when it can be waived
• How to prepare and submit notifications
• Record-keeping requirements for ICO compliance

We can also include draft ICO notification templates adapted to your specific data processing activities.

Question 9

Is this aligned to UK GDPR and ICO guidance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every policy is drafted to reflect:

• UK GDPR breach notification obligations (Article 33 and 34)
• ICO guidance on personal data breaches
• Best practices from ICO enforcement actions and case studies
• Industry standards for incident response

Your policy will meet UK regulatory requirements and reflect current ICO expectations for organisations of your size and sector.

Question 10

What if we need to update the policy in the future?

Accepted Answer

Data breach procedures should be reviewed periodically, especially when:
• Your systems or data processing activities change
• New regulatory guidance is issued
• You experience an actual breach (post-incident review)

We offer policy update services at discounted rates for existing clients. You'll also receive the policy as an editable document, allowing your team to make minor updates internally as needed.

Question 11

How do we implement the policy after receiving it?

Accepted Answer

Your policy will include practical implementation guidance:

• Recommended training for staff who handle data
• How to communicate the policy across the organisation
• Suggested drill or tabletop exercises
• Integration with existing security and compliance documentation

Many clients use our 30-minute solicitor consultation to discuss rollout strategy, training materials, and testing scenarios.

Question 12

What happens after we receive the policy?

Accepted Answer

You'll receive:

1. Your final Data Breach Policy as a Word document (fully editable)
2. Any notification templates or checklists referenced in the policy
3. Implementation guidance and training recommendations
4. Access to schedule a 30-minute consultation with your drafting solicitor

You own the policy outright and can use, modify, and distribute it within your organisation without restrictions. We also keep a copy on file for 12 months in case you need to request clarifications or minor adjustments.
