GDPR Consultancy
A GDPR Consultancy Built to Get You Audit Ready
Practical GDPR Compliance Services
We provide practical GDPR compliance services that help growing businesses become and stay GDPR compliant — without building an in-house legal team from scratch.
Consultancy and article 27 representative services
You get two things under one roof: a structured GDPR consultancy that works alongside your team, and Article 27 representative services for businesses outside the EU that are subject to GDPR and need an EU representative.
Support Across multiple reigons
Your free compliance consultation will take place through Microsoft Teams with Axipro’s GRC specialists. We will discuss your compliance goals, current challenges, and areas where your organization may need support.
What Is GDPR, and Does It Apply to You?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the EU’s data protection law. It governs how organizations collect, store, use, and protect the personal data of people in the EU, and it carries some of the toughest privacy penalties in the world.
Here’s the part most businesses miss: GDPR isn’t limited to companies based in the EU. Under Article 3, if you offer goods or services to people in the EU — or monitor their behaviour — you may be subject to the Regulation, regardless of where your business is based.
That means a company based in the US, Bahrain, or anywhere else processing EU residents’ data can be in scope. Depending on the circumstances, businesses outside the EU may also need to appoint an EU representative under Article 27. Being based elsewhere doesn’t remove the obligation.
Is There Such a Thing as GDPR Certification?
Not in the way most businesses assume.
GDPR isn’t a single pass/fail certificate like ISO 27001. Article 42 of the Regulation does allow for certification schemes established under Article 42, but they’re voluntary, and they don’t replace the underlying obligation to comply.
What virtually every business actually needs is demonstrable, audit-ready compliance: the ability to show, on demand, that you handle personal data lawfully — to a customer, a regulator, or an auditor.
We won’t sell you a certificate that doesn’t reflect how GDPR actually works. If an Article 42 scheme genuinely fits your situation, we’ll tell you. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you that too.
GDPR Representative Services (Article 27)
If your business is established outside the EU but offers goods or services to people in the EU, or monitors their behaviour, Article 27 of the EU GDPR generally requires you to appoint a representative within the EU. UK GDPR includes a similar requirement under its own framework for businesses outside the UK.
An EU representative acts as a local point of contact for supervisory authorities and individuals exercising their data protection rights. It does not replace your compliance obligations, but in qualifying cases, appointing a representative is part of meeting your obligations under the applicable framework.
We provide representative services for businesses operating from the US, Bahrain, Singapore, and other regions outside the EU and UK, helping you meet this requirement without setting up your own entity abroad.
Not sure whether you need a representative, or under which framework? We’ll help you work that out as part of your initial consultation.
Path to Compliance
A Clear 3 Steps Path to Compliance
Assess
We review your current data practices, policies, processes, and controls through a structured GDPR compliance audit to understand where you stand and identify gaps against the requirements that apply to your business — whether you're starting from scratch or already have some policies in place.
Address
We work alongside your team to address identified gaps, strengthen your policies and processes, and put the documentation and controls you need in place.
Demonstrate
We help you build the evidence needed to demonstrate your compliance — so you can respond confidently to customers, regulators, and other stakeholders when asked about your data protection practices.
Path to Compliance
What GDPR Compliance Actually Gets You
Reduced Regulatory Exposure
GDPR penalties can run up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher. Beyond the fine itself, non-compliance can lead to regulatory investigations, corrective measures, and significant reputational and business consequences.
Lower Privacy and Data-Handling Risk
Clearer controls and data-handling processes can reduce the risk of data protection failures and help limit the impact when incidents occur.
Fewer Enterprise Sales Delays
Larger customers increasingly want evidence of how you handle their data before signing. Demonstrable GDPR compliance can help you respond to privacy and security requirements with greater confidence, reducing compliance-related friction and building customer trust.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does GDPR apply to my business if I'm based outside the EU?
Yes, if you offer goods or services to people in the EU, or monitor their behaviour — regardless of where you’re located. A business in Bahrain or the US that processes EU residents’ data is in scope, and usually needs an EU representative under Article 27.
What's the difference between GDPR compliance and GDPR certification?
GDPR compliance means meeting the Regulation’s requirements and being able to prove it on demand. “Certification” refers to voluntary Article 42 schemes — useful in some cases, but not a substitute for the underlying obligation. Most businesses need demonstrable, audit-ready compliance, not a certificate.
Is GDPR certification mandatory?
No. Certification under Article 42 is voluntary. What’s mandatory is compliance itself — and the ability to evidence it. Customers and regulators care about proof you handle data lawfully, not a badge.
How much does GDPR compliance cost?
It depends on your size, data volume, and current state. Large consultancies and the Big Four often charge [£X–£Y]. Axipro works on a fixed, affordable fee — typically [add range]. Either way, it’s a fraction of a single breach, fine, or lost enterprise contract.
Do I need a Data Protection Officer (DPO)?
Only some organisations are legally required to appoint one — for example, those doing large-scale monitoring or handling special-category data. Many businesses don’t need a full-time hire and benefit from outsourced DPO or representative support instead. We’ll tell you which camp you’re in.
What is a GDPR representative, and do I need one?
If you’re outside the EU or UK but process the data of people inside it, Article 27 generally requires you to appoint a local representative. Axipro provides this service so you stay compliant without setting up your own entity abroad.
How long does it take to become GDPR compliant?
It depends on scope and where you’re starting from. With our structured Assess → Address → Demonstrate process, most businesses reach audit-ready in [add typical timeframe].
What if we already have some GDPR policies or controls in place?
That’s common — most businesses aren’t starting from zero. Our Assess step is built to identify what’s already working, what needs strengthening, and what’s missing, so we build on what you have rather than starting over.
