DSARSolutions.
Complex requests. Controlled delivery. Legal judgement, dedicated resources and intelligent technology — from intake to secure release.
A demanding process.
Handled for you.
Responding to a data subject access request can place a significant burden on HR, legal and IT teams, particularly where information is spread across multiple systems or a workplace dispute is ongoing.
DSAR Solutions is our managed response service for employers. We bring together specialist legal oversight, practical document-review resources and appropriate technology to take the work forward, with a clear record of decisions and actions.
Time back for your team.
Dedicated resources to manage document-heavy tasks and ease pressure on internal staff.
Legal oversight built in.
Specialist assessment of scope, third-party information, exemptions and disclosure risk.
A process you can evidence.
Documented review decisions, quality assurance and an auditable release record.
One connected process.
From instruction to release.
Each stage has a clear purpose, specialist oversight and an identifiable output. Follow the line as we take the process forward.
Engage & coordinate
We agree the scope, timetable and instructions. Where authorised, we coordinate communications with the requester and manage the process on the employer’s behalf.
A response plan, responsibilities and a clear communications protocol.
Secure data intake
We coordinate collection across relevant custodians and systems, using agreed secure transfer arrangements and controlled access to the material.
Emails, HR records, shared drives, messaging and personnel documentation.
Organise & deduplicate
We structure the dataset, identify duplicate material and prepare it for efficient review, preserving context where that is important.
Less repeat handling and a more focused review population.
Scope & legal review
We assess what falls within the request, including applicable exemptions, third-party rights and personal data that requires careful consideration.
Recorded inclusion, exclusion and exemption decisions supported by human judgement.
Review & redact
We review the relevant material, apply appropriate redactions and carry out checks to ensure excluded information is not inadvertently disclosed.
Consistent redaction rules, verification and quality-controlled outputs.
Audit & validate
Before release, we check the response package for completeness, consistency and redaction integrity, and organise the supporting audit record.
Decision logs, review notes, quality checks and release documentation.
Secure release
We prepare the final response and coordinate disclosure through the agreed secure channel, with a record of what was provided and when.
A managed disclosure package and documented completion record.
The workflow is adapted to the request, the available material and the employer’s legal obligations.
Technology supports the work.
Judgement controls it.
Appropriate AI-assisted and document-review tools can make large datasets easier to organise, search and assess. We use technology to support efficiency while retaining human oversight of decisions affecting disclosure.
- Secure transfer and controlled access arrangements.
- Technology-assisted organisation and duplicate identification.
- Legal review, verified redactions and a documented audit trail.

The service is designed to support compliance; it does not transfer the employer’s statutory responsibilities.
