Building GDPR-Compliant Software: A UK Developer's Guide

UK GDPR After Brexit

Since the UK's departure from the EU, the UK GDPR governs how organisations handle personal data. The ICO enforces it with fines up to £17.5M or 4% of global turnover.

Key Requirements

  • Lawful basis for processing
  • Data subject rights (access, erasure, portability)
  • Privacy by design and by default
  • Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)

Working with the ICO

DevSimplex builds software with ICO guidance front and centre, helping clients achieve compliance from the first sprint.
