Following the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, The UK GDPR, The Data Protection Act 2018, and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 govern the processing of personal data within the UK. For Life Sciences organisations, these regulations impose stringent requirements concerning transparency, data subject rights, security, and governance. Non-compliance risks substantial administrative fines and reputational harm, particularly when handling sensitive health data.
MyData-TRUST provides expert guidance to Life Sciences companies, whether based in the UK or operating internationally while processing data of UK residents. Our services integrate in-depth legal expertise with practical solutions to address the unique compliance challenges faced by healthcare, clinical research, and pharmaceutical organisations.
