Introduction: Why GDPR Matters for UK SMEs
In an increasingly data-driven economy, UK small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face growing pressure to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). Non-compliance can result in hefty fines, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust. Navigating GDPR regulations can be daunting for SMEs that often lack in-house legal and compliance resources.
That’s where Keith Budden—founder of Ensurety.co.uk—comes in. Recognized as one of the UK’s leading GDPR compliance experts, Keith Budden provides tailored, cost-effective data protection solutions specifically designed for SMEs.

The Impact of UK GDPR on SMEs
Since Brexit, the UK has maintained its own version of the GDPR—commonly referred to as UK GDPR. While the core principles remain aligned with EU law, there are UK-specific requirements that SMEs must understand, including:
* UK-based representatives for non-UK companies
* Interaction with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)
* Changes to international data transfers (e.g. using IDTA and SCCs)
Keith Budden ensures that SMEs stay ahead of regulatory developments, avoid common pitfalls, and minimize the risk of enforcement action by the ICO.
