Beyond compliance: how we protect your data & your business

“It’s estimated that a cyberattack occurs every 39 seconds, making it clear that reactive security measures aren’t enough”

In today’s fast-paced digital world, your data is one of your most valuable assets. Whether it’s sensitive customer information, critical business operations, or intellectual property, you need a data centre partner who understands the immense responsibility of keeping it safe. At DCP, we don’t just store your data; we are dedicated to providing a secure, compliant, and highly resilient environment so you can focus on what you do best – growing your business.

We know the UK’s regulatory landscape can seem complex. That’s why we meticulously adhere to the stringent requirements designed to protect your data and uphold your trust.

• UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) & Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018): These are the cornerstones of data protection in the UK, governing how personal data is handled. We ensure our operations fully comply with these regulations, safeguarding your customers’ information and supporting your own compliance efforts.

• Industry Best Practices: We don’t just meet minimum requirements. We strive for excellence, aligning our practices with frameworks like Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001. These certifications demonstrate our proactive approach to information security management, giving you peace of mind.

Understanding the cost of non-compliance

For many businesses, a data breach or regulatory non-compliance isn’t just a hypothetical concern – it can lead to significant financial penalties and reputational damage. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has the power to issue substantial fines, potentially reaching millions of pounds, for breaches of data protection laws.

Our robust compliance framework and proactive security measures are designed to help you avoid these costly pitfalls. When you partner with us, you benefit from:

• Expert guidance: We stay abreast of all regulatory changes, so you don’t have to.

• Proven compliance: Our infrastructure and processes are built from the ground up to meet and exceed regulatory expectations.

• Risk mitigation: By choosing a compliant data centre, you significantly reduce your own exposure to potential fines and legal challenges.

Your business, uninterrupted: The power of cyber resilience

Beyond simply complying with regulations, our focus is on cyber resilience. This means we’re not just prepared for cyber threats; we’re built to withstand them and ensure your services remain available even in the face of sophisticated attacks or unforeseen disruptions.

The UK government recognises data centres as Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), highlighting their importance to the nation. This designation reinforces our commitment to the highest levels of security and operational stability. Here’s how we build that resilience for your peace of mind:

• Advanced cybersecurity defences: We deploy cutting-edge firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) to create multiple layers of defence around your data.

• Fortified physical security: Our facilities feature secure access controls, round the clock surveillance both internal and external, and environmental safeguards to protect against physical threats.

• Unwavering business continuity: We design our infrastructure with redundancy at every level – power, cooling, and network connections – guaranteeing maximum uptime for your critical operations. We regularly test our systems to ensure they perform under pressure.

• Rapid incident response: In the unlikely event of an incident, we have comprehensive and frequently tested response plans in place. Our swift actions minimise any potential impact, getting your services back to normal as quickly as possible.

We empower you to innovate and grow with confidence, knowing that your critical data assets are secured by industry-leading practices and an unwavering commitment to your continuous operation. By partnering with us, you effectively transfer the burden of regulatory complexity, leveraging our expert knowledge and compliant infrastructure.
