Cyber Security Services for GDPR Compliance

Ensure your business meets GDPR standards with Black Swan Cyber Security Solutions

UK GDPR cyber security support

GDPR compliance needs more than paperwork. Your systems need protecting too.

UK GDPR expects personal data to be handled securely. That means thinking about the laptops, cloud accounts, email systems, backups, passwords, staff habits and suppliers that touch the data your business relies on.

Black Swan Cyber Security Solutions helps smaller organisations put practical cyber security measures in place, so GDPR stops feeling like a binder on a shelf and starts becoming part of how the business works.

The plain English version

UK GDPR asks a sensible question: have you taken appropriate steps to protect personal data?

The answer will look different for every organisation. A one-person consultancy will not need the same setup as a school, care provider, accountancy firm or growing business with remote staff. The point is to understand your risk, choose sensible controls, and be able to show what you have done.

Our role is to help you put practical security controls around the systems that hold or process personal data. We work alongside your own policies, privacy notices, contracts, data maps and legal responsibilities.
Manage risk

Know where the weak spots are

We review devices, Microsoft 365, email, backups, passwords and security layers so you can see what needs attention first.

Protect data

Put better controls in place

Endpoint protection, DNS filtering, patching, email security, password management and access controls all help reduce everyday risk.

Detect events

Spot suspicious activity sooner

Managed EDR, ITDR and MXDR help find signs of compromise across devices, identities and cloud accounts.

Reduce impact

Recover when something goes wrong

Cloud backup and disaster recovery help restore data after deletion, ransomware, system failure or accidental damage.

Support staff

Make safer behaviour easier

Security awareness training helps people recognise phishing, handle information carefully and report concerns sooner.

Show evidence

Build a clearer audit trail

Monitoring, reports, policies, backup checks and certification support can help you show that security is being taken seriously.

Products and services that can help

Match the control to the risk, not the other way round.

GDPR support works best when the solution is chosen around your systems, your data and your staff. These are the main areas where we can help.

Password security

Keeper Password Manager

Email protection

Avanan Email Security

Helps protect email and collaboration tools from phishing, malicious attachments and account compromise attempts.

Helps with: evidence, basic control checks and supplier confidence →
Common problems we see

Most GDPR security gaps are ordinary, not dramatic.

The risk often comes from normal business systems that have grown over time. A few shared accounts. A mailbox nobody checks. Backups that exist but have never been tested. Staff using personal devices. Old software. Too many people with admin rights.

Microsoft 365

Accounts are protected by MFA, but nobody is watching for compromise.

MFA matters, but it is not the finish line. ITDR can help detect suspicious cloud account behaviour after login.

Backups

Data is in the cloud, so everyone assumes it is backed up.

Microsoft 365 resilience is not the same as your own backup and recovery plan. Deleted or encrypted data can still cause real disruption.

Devices

Laptops hold personal data, but security is left to basic antivirus.

Modern attacks often need behaviour monitoring, patching and managed response, not just a “clean” antivirus screen.

People

Staff get blamed for mistakes they were never trained to spot.

Training should be practical, regular and relevant. It should make safer decisions easier during a busy working day.

Evidence

The business is doing some good things, but cannot prove them.

Reports, logs, policies, backup records and certification work can help show that security is being managed, not guessed.

Suppliers

Third-party tools process data, but security checks are thin.

We can help you ask better security questions and understand how supplier risk fits into your wider cyber position.

Our approach

A simple way to make GDPR security feel less messy.

We do not start by selling you everything. We start by finding the areas where personal data could be exposed, lost, deleted, encrypted or accessed by the wrong person.

Review

We look at your systems, data risks, Microsoft 365 setup, devices, backups and current protection.

Prioritise

You get clear recommendations based on risk, budget and what will reduce exposure fastest.

Improve

We put the right controls in place, from endpoint protection and backups to training and monitoring.

Support

We help keep things running, provide useful reporting and adjust protection as your organisation changes.

Who this is for

Built for organisations that need practical GDPR security support without hiring a full cyber team.

We mainly support schools, care providers, nurseries, charities, parish councils, professional services firms, trades and smaller businesses across Chesterfield, Derbyshire, Sheffield, South Yorkshire and the wider UK.

Good fit

You hold personal data and rely on Microsoft 365.

Client files, pupil records, care records, staff data, invoices, emails, HR documents or appointment details all need sensible protection.

Good fit

You want clearer evidence for clients, insurers or trustees.

We help you move from “we think we are covered” to clearer controls, records and practical security reports.

Not a fit

You only want a GDPR certificate.

We do not sell fake comfort. We help with the cyber security controls that support compliance, not a magic badge.
