We are a newly formed specialist GDPR compliance consultancy for the UK legal sector. Our mission is to help law firms achieve Substantial Compliance and protect against ICO investigation and enforcement.
Get Your Free Risk ScoreAvalon Data didn't start by accident. We launched at the end of 2025 with a singular, urgent mission: to protect UK law firms from the most significant tightening of data laws in a generation. As the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 commonly known as DUAA moved from proposal to enforcement, we saw a widening gap between traditional IT support and the forensic scrutiny now required by the ICO. We chose this moment to step forward because we saw an opportunity to serve the legal community during its most complex transition yet.
We aren't a legacy agency trying to adapt old methods to new laws. We are a new, lean, specialised team built specifically for the 2026 landscape—dedicated to neutralising your firm's risks before they become liabilities. We use the latest AI driven technology coupled with experienced human oversight to bring you up to full compliance.
Our team of compliance specialists brings decades of experience in data protection and regulatory compliance for the legal sector.
Senior Compliance Consultant
Vik is the "engine" of our forensic audit process. With over a decade of experience in high-level data architecture and cybersecurity, he developed the proprietary scanning methodology Avalon uses to detect hidden sub-processor firing and "shadow" data flows. His expertise allows us to see what standard off-the-shelf scanners miss, providing the technical evidence required for PI insurance renewals and SRA audits.
Founder & Strategic Lead
With a career built on rigorous research and a healthy scepticism of "standard" solutions, Paul founded Avalon Data to challenge the complacency he saw in the compliance sector. He specialises in identifying the gap between what a software vendor promises and what the Data Act 2025 actually requires. His focus is protecting the compliance officer from the "Active Knowledge" liability traps that have emerged in recent February 2026 ICO rulings.
Manager of Operations & Governance
Bringing a background in Senior Project Management Jo ensures that "compliance" doesn't mean "gridlock." She understands that a law firm must remain billable while staying secure. She translates Vik's forensic data into prioritised, jargon-free operational roadmaps, ensuring that firm-wide changes are implemented without disrupting the daily practice of law.
