DSARs are traditionally manual, costly, and disruptive. SmartSAR offers a technology powered, outsourced solution that ensures precision, efficiency, and Article 15 GDPR peace of mind, so you can focus on your core business.

The service includes a scope assessment followed by clear, fixed-cost pricing. It covers data ingestion, technical filtering, review, classification, and expert redaction, all delivered securely via the SmartSAR portal.

Expertise meets technology: We combine legal expertise with advanced processing tools to provide a fixed-fee DSAR service. Our holistic approach reduces operational burden and supports informed decision-making.

Transparent pricing, no commitment: Unlike any other solution on the market, SmartSAR offers upfront, fixed-fee pricing before you commit, giving you clarity, and leverage when comparing options or negotiating settlements.

All-in-one DSAR solution: Our proprietary data protection playbook compresses datasets, reducing the scope of expensive review. In addition, our lawyers identify and separate sensitive or contentious material and discuss it with you before disclosure, so you’re always protected.

Cleanse & quote: We begin by cleaning the uploaded data to reduce document volume, typically by 50–95%. Once the data is refined, we provide a fixed-fee quote, with no charge if you choose not to proceed. This service is available for any size, language, or format.

Categorise & redact: Next, we identify documents for redaction, exclusion, or further discussion, and redact personal or irrelevant information to ensure compliance and clarity.

Review & action: We then review sensitive documents with you, upload redacted files to the secure portal, and draft the response letter along with access details for the data subject.

Optional support includes preliminary DSAR advice, ID verification, scope challenge, deadline extension, DSAR rejection, settlement support, and data retrieval scoping.
