A Subject Access Request SAR had been made of a SME under DPA:2018 / UK GDPR regulations. They had to provide copies of all the data related to a disgruntled employee but did not want to divulge personal details that related to other team members or that were strategically private to the Business. We worked with the Company to agree the specification. We redacted emails, attachments, an internal messaging system, text messages, Word and Excel spreadsheets. We agreed a completion date well before the SAR deadline and hit this to the agreed budget.
“Marvellous customer service. Regular, reassuring updates during the project. Great job efficiently done within deadline.” Operations Director.

A subject access request (SAR) is simply a written request made by or on behalf of an individual for the information which he or she is entitled to ask for under the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA:2018) / GDPR throughout the UK and EU. Generally this is any information that an Organisation holds where the ‘Subject’ is the focus.
