Steadfast protection for your data and your business
DATA PROTECTION & INFORMATION SECURITY
Cadarn Information Security is a specialist consultancy helping small and medium-sized businesses, schools, and community councils across South Wales navigate data protection and information security with confidence.
OUR SERVICES
Large-organisation expertise,
without the in-house overhead.
We bring together data protection and information security under one roof, a combination that is genuinely rare at this level and makes Cadarn a distinctive choice for organisations that need both.
Most small and medium organisations face the same challenge, real legal obligations around data protection and information security, but without the budget for a dedicated in-house team. Cadarn bridges that gap. We bring senior-level expertise directly to your business or orgnisation, helping you meet your obligations, protect your data, and build confidence.
Data Protection Officer
Outsourced DPO support providing all the expertise of a full-time DPO at a fraction of the cost. Ongoing advice, breach support, and regulatory liaison included.
Information Security
Audits, risk assessments, Cyber Essentials preparation, and policy development. Practical, proportionate security that matches your organisation's risk profile.
Schools
Tailored data protection and information security support for individual and groupings of schools, covering the specific obligations of the education sector.
Smaller Public Bodies
Cost-effective data protection support designed for smaller public bodies such as community and town councils. Includes collective pricing for groups.
Training & Awareness
Staff awareness training delivered remotely or on-site. Clear, practical, and tailored to your organisation, not a generic off-the-shelf course.
Audits & Gap Analyses
UK GDPR compliance audits that give you a clear picture of where you stand and a prioritised, actionable plan to address any gaps identified.

Tailored proposal
We provide a clear, fixed-price proposal based on what you actually need, not a one-size-fits-all package.
Practical, proportionate support
We recommend what your business genuinely needs, not what looks impressive on paper. We deliver what we've agreed, on time, in plain language. No over-engineering, no unnecessary complexity.
Ongoing relationship
Many clients continue with a retainer service, giving them ongoing access to expert advice as their needs evolve.
