Stop processing DSARs manually

Every DSAR means days of manual searching, page-by-page review, and cross-department coordination, repeated every time, against a 30-day statutory deadline.

Connect your data sources. PrivacyManager finds the records, detects personal data across 25 languages, redacts third-party information, and delivers a disclosure-ready package - in hours, not weeks.

DSARaaS - the fully managed option

Some organisations don't want to run a DSAR platform. They want someone to make the problem go away.

DSARaaS is the fully managed option for organisations that need expert-led DSAR response without building an in-house team. Our analysts handle the entire workflow, from intake to disclosure, using the PrivacyManager™ platform, with full audit trails and SLA-backed response times. Our privacy specialists handle every stage of the lifecycle on your behalf, using PrivacyManager as the underlying platform but with our team operating it:

What we handle:

  • Request validation and identity verification

  • Data gathering across your systems (we work with your IT team on initial access, then run searches independently)

  • Document review, PII detection, and third-party redaction

  • Exemption assessment and application

  • Formal disclosure to the data subject

  • Complete case documentation

  • Direct liaison with the ICO or other regulators if required

 

What you handle:

  • Approving the final disclosure package before it's sent

  • That's it

 

DSARaaS works as an annual subscription for organisations with ongoing DSAR volumes, or as pre-paid blocks of hours for overflow, complex one-off requests, or peak periods (post-breach, pre-litigation, regulatory campaigns).

 

Our specialists work within your compliance framework, apply your policies, and produce documentation to your governance standards. You retain full control and sign-off authority. We provide the resource, the expertise, and the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your next DSAR is already on its way. The question is whether it takes your team two days or two weeks.

“Working with Contextul has been an absolute pleasure. They supported us with GDPR elements and were incredibly knowledgeable and reassuring throughout the process. Big shout out to Darren and Robert for their efficiency, responsiveness, and ability to jump in whenever needed. They made a potentially complex area feel manageable, and their professionalism and helpfulness gave us real confidence. I’d highly recommend Contextul to anyone looking for expertise and a great team to partner within."
