It assists organisations in complying with data protection laws, such as the UK GDPR, by systematically examining, identifying, and addressing potential data protection risks of a project or plan.

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the UK's independent body responsible for regulating data protection and information rights. It ensures organisations handle personal information responsibly and promotes openness in public bodies.

The GDPR, or General Data Protection Regulation, is a law that sets out rules for how organisations must handle the personal data of individuals within the EU. It aims to give individuals more control over their data and harmonise data privacy laws.
