Data Protection & Information Governance Advisory for UK Organisations
What if we manage your GDPR compliance, SAR requests, and Data protection responsibilities without the cost of an in-house team?
McAbe Information Governance & Data Protection Advisory helps organizations manage their information governance obligations with confidence, precision, and full regulatory compliance.
Fixed-fee UK GDPR & DUAA 2025 Compliance
Delivered by practitioners, not generalists
The consultant who has done the work.
Most data protection advisers are either lawyers who have never filed a SAR or IT consultants who can't interpret a regulatory obligation. McAbe Advisory is different. Our team comprises practising Information Governance Officers with both private and public-sector experience handling real requests from end to end.
"A credential 95% of GDPR consultants do not have hands-on, practitioner-level Subject Access Request experience inside a regulated environment."
Practitioner, not theorist
Real SARs. Real exemptions. Real deadlines. Our advice is built on doing the work, not reading about it.
Fixed fees, clear deliverables
Every service has a defined scope, a stated price, and a turnaround time. No hourly billing. No surprises.
UK based
Fluent in Scottish healthcare, education, and professional services. Serving clients remotely across the UK.
Let us help you stay compliant without the stress of compliance team overhead cost.
