Data protection is no longer a back-office compliance topic, it sits at the heart of how modern businesses build products, share data and adopt AI. BRAVIOT works with clients to design data and AI practices that meet UK GDPR and EU AI Act requirements while still letting the business move quickly.
How we can help
- UK GDPR compliance programmes, audits and gap analyses
- Data Processing Agreements (DPAs), Standard Contractual Clauses and international transfers
- Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and Legitimate Interests Assessments
- AI Act readiness, AI governance frameworks and model risk reviews
- Privacy notices, cookie compliance and consent design
- Data breach response, ICO notifications and individual complaints
Our approach
We work with founders, product teams and DPOs in the language they use day-to-day. The aim is a privacy programme that the business actually operates, not a binder on a shelf, and a clear position on AI that lets the company innovate responsibly.

A DPIA is required where the processing is likely to result in a high risk to individuals, typical triggers include large-scale processing of special category data, automated decision-making with significant effects, systematic monitoring, or the use of new technologies (often including AI). In practice we recommend a lightweight DPIA template for any new processing activity, with a deeper assessment where the risk is genuinely high.
EU SCCs themselves are not valid for UK exports of personal data. The UK has its own International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) and an Addendum that can be used with EU SCCs. We help clients audit existing contracts, identify which exports need to be repapered, and prioritise updates by risk.
It affects UK businesses that place AI systems on the EU market, that operate AI systems whose output is used in the EU, or that are part of a global supply chain delivering AI tools to EU customers. We help clients map their AI systems against the Act’s risk categories, build governance for high-risk and general-purpose AI systems, and prepare for the staggered enforcement timetable.
Contain the incident, preserve evidence, and start the clock on the 72-hour ICO notification window. We provide a written incident playbook to clients so the first hour is methodical rather than chaotic, and we are on call to lead the response, including drafting ICO and data subject communications.
Yes. We act as an outsourced Data Protection Officer for clients that need the role on a part-time basis, including monthly oversight, register maintenance, ICO liaison and training.
