Managing Data Subject Access Requests can be demanding, especially when deadlines are tight or the volume of data is high. Our service ensures you can respond to requestors, handle a large number of documents, refine the data, and complete redactions and response within the timescales.

Under UK GDPR, individuals have the right to request a copy of the personal data an organisation holds about them. This is known as a Subject Access Request (SAR).
Organisations must respond within one calendar month, providing the data in a clear and accessible format. Failure to comply can result in regulatory action from the ICO.
SARs can be complex, time-consuming, and require careful handling to ensure compliance — that’s where the NKA DSAR Service comes in.

“The team were professional, communicative, and efficient. We look forward to working with you again – thank you for your assistance”
For organisations receiving regular SARs, our fully outsourced service provides a dedicated team of data protection professionals who manage your entire SAR workflow.
Our service reduces your internal burden, improves compliance and ensures that every request is handled consistently and professionally.
We offer a straightforward, secure process from submission to completion. We handle the complexity, so you don’t have to.
We provide early-stage advice on the scope and validity of the request. This includes any needed clarification, refining of the request, and how best to apply proportionate parameters with the requester.
We support the identification and consolidation of relevant information from across your systems. This includes emails, document management systems, and shared drives, into a structured and secure review dataset.
Our team undertakes a careful review of the dataset, identifying and redacting third-party personal data whilst working with you to ensure disclosures are lawful, balanced, and appropriate.
Removing and redacting third party personal data, including sensitive information, requires careful judgment. We assess and apply relevant exemptions, including the legal professional privilege, confidentiality obligations, and other provisions under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
We provide delivery of a final redacted version, a highlighted and marked up version for your records and, a clear, professional response letter.
Following your review, we provide expert guidance on any additional redactions or queries, and can implement further amendments where required.
