What you need to know about Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) and how you can prepare your business to handle them.

Is your business ready for a Data Subject Access Request?

Webinar

, founder and consulting director of DataFit, covers exactly what you need to know about DSARs and how you can prepare your business to handle them when they arrive.

Since 1998, under privacy laws like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), companies in the UK have been legally required to respond to Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs).

These requests give people the right to ask for all of the personal data a business holds about them and to share this within 30 days of submitting the request (with some exceptions).

The number of DSARs being submitted in the UK has been rising for a while now. And with the Data Privacy Group estimating DSARs are costing UK businesses between £72,000 and £336,000 per year, it’s simply not something UK companies can afford to ignore any longer.
