Data Protection Services in the UK for Charities & Non-Profits
Comprehensive data protection ensuring Charities meet every regulatory obligation.
Multi-Layered Protection
Backup, replication, immutable storage, and offsite copies working together to protect against every data loss scenario.
Compliance Aligned
Data protection strategies designed to meet GDPR, Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, and sector-specific regulatory requirements.
Business Continuity
When data loss occurs, our recovery procedures get you back to business rapidly with tested, proven restore processes.
Charities handle sensitive donor and beneficiary records daily. With GDPR enforcement increasing and cyber threats evolving, inadequate data protection exposes your charitable organisation to regulatory fines, reputational damage, and client trust erosion.
Cloudswitched delivers managed data protection for UK charities. We implement encryption, access controls, data loss prevention, and audit trails to safeguard donor and beneficiary records and ensure full compliance with GDPR and Charity Commission regulations.
How it works for Charities businesses
A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.
1
Risk Assessment
We assess your data landscape — identifying what data you hold, where it resides, how critical it is, and what threats it faces — to design protection measures proportionate to the risk.
2
Protection Implementation
Backup policies, encryption, access controls, and replication configured across your entire IT estate based on the assessment findings.
3
Ongoing Governance
Regular reviews of your data protection posture, retention policies, and compliance alignment ensure your protection measures remain effective as your business evolves.
