Public Sector & Not-for-Profit Services

Governance and compliance expertise for public bodies and the not-for-profit sector

Public sector organisations and not-for-profits operate under heightened levels of public scrutiny and accountability. They often process personal data at scale — including sensitive data relating to vulnerable individuals — and must navigate a complex regulatory environment that includes the GDPR, sector-specific legislation, Freedom of Information obligations and public body governance requirements. 

Fort Privacy has worked with government agencies, semi-state bodies, charities, local authorities and not-for-profit organisations, bringing practical compliance expertise that is sensitive to the unique governance structures, funding models and public interest obligations of the sector.

We understand that public sector and not-for-profit organisations must demonstrate the highest standards of transparency, accountability and data stewardship. Our services are designed to help these organisations meet their compliance obligations efficiently and proportionately, building public trust while enabling the delivery of essential services and programmes.
