Data Protection for Small Businesses

Every time a customer submits a contact form, requests a quote, or places an order on your website, you collect personal data. Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, small businesses have a strict legal responsibility to protect that information.

Key Safeguards Every Site Must Have

  • Encrypted Form Submissions: Ensure data in transit is encrypted using active SSL protocols.
  • Automated Off-Site Backups: Maintain regular redundant copies of your site data so you can recover instantly from hardware or server failure.
  • Minimal Data Retention: Never collect unnecessary personal data beyond what is needed to fulfill the enquiry.

Our managed website packages include automated daily cloud backups and server-level protection out of the box.
