Data protection that holds up when someone actually checks.
I'm Kyle Secker, an independent Data Protection Officer. I help organisations meet their UK GDPR obligations properly — not with a policy pack nobody reads, but with practical decisions your teams can actually work with.
Three ways to work together
Most clients start with one problem and stay for ongoing support. Pick the starting point that matches where you are today.
DPO-as-a-Service
A qualified, independent Data Protection Officer appointed to your organisation — for a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
Project-basedData protection consultancy
DPIAs, transfer impact assessments, DPA reviews, ICO audit readiness and staff training, scoped to what you actually need.
AdjacentInfoSec & cyber security advice
Practical security guidance that keeps your data protection obligations and your technical reality talking to each other.
Compliance advice your engineers won't roll their eyes at
Bilingual, sort of
I sit at the intersection of data protection law and software engineering, so I can translate between legal obligations and technical implementation without losing anything in either direction.
Principles, not tick-boxes
UK GDPR is principles-based. I'll tell you plainly when something is likely to be compliant, when it isn't, and exactly what needs to change — never a vague "it depends" with nothing useful attached.
Built for scrutiny
Every recommendation is documented so that if the ICO, a client, or an auditor ever asks "why did you do it this way?", you have a clear, defensible answer.
