UK Article 27
Representative
A UK-established representative for non-UK organisations that need a local UK GDPR contact point for the ICO and for individuals.
Your UK GDPR contact point
Non-UK organisations caught by UK GDPR often need a representative under Article 27 so the ICO and UK individuals have a credible local contact.
Our service provides that local anchor together with the notice language and operational support needed to integrate seamlessly into your UK GDPR Compliance Programme.
Why UK representation is enforced
The ICO expects overseas organisations serving UK users to provide a visible UK contact route. A missing or weak representative creates immediate enforcement exposure, often complicating Data Breach Response.
