We help you to process Subject Access Requests (SAR), FOI and EIR requests efficiently and promptly, with accurate redactions to protect sensitive information.
If you are a UK organisation, you may have a legal obligation to respond to FOI, SAR and EIR requests within a mandatory time frame. However, this can be a time-consuming and complex process, especially if you have to redact sensitive information before disclosing it.
Our SAR redaction service can help you to streamline this process and ensure that you meet your legal obligations. We have a team of experts in data protection law and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) who can:
- Supply covering letters or email communications to the requestor
- Identify any exemptions that may apply to the information.
- Apply permanent redactions prior to disclosure.
- Provide relevant advice and guidance on FOI, SAR and EIR compliance.
Our service is fast, efficient and cost-effective. We can also scale our services to meet the needs of organisations of all sizes, from small companies to large charities and local authorities.
Benefits of using our redaction service:
- Ensure that you meet your legal obligations.
- Reduce the risk of data breaches and reputational damage arising from the failure to apply appropriate exemptions.
- You retain control by approving the redactions before we apply them.
- Free up your staff to focus on their core business activities.
What our clients say
Don’t just take our word for it. Find out what some of our clients had to say about our SAR redaction service:
“As a primary school it is often difficult to deal with issues relating to data protection queries due to time and staffing constraints. Recently we asked Veritau to support with an internal review.
Throughout the process, the Veritau team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and responsiveness. Their guidance was clear, practical, and tailored to the needs of our school. They provided constructive challenge where appropriate while maintaining a supportive and collaborative approach.
Veritau’s advice has helped strengthen our data protection practices and given us greater assurance that our systems and procedures are compliant and effective.
We are extremely grateful for the high-quality service we received and would not hesitate to recommend Veritau to other organisations seeking expert support with GDPR compliance and internal reviews.”
