UK GDPR, Cyber Essentials & NIS2 — the practical answers
Verified against legislation.gov.uk, ncsc.gov.uk and ICO guidance — not marketing copy.
What are the maximum UK GDPR fines?
Up to £17.5 million or 4% of global annual turnover (whichever is higher) for serious infringements, as set out in Article 83(5) UK GDPR and s.157 Data Protection Act 2018. Lesser infringements carry a cap of £8.7 million or 2%. The ICO sets specific tiers annually.
Is Cyber Essentials mandatory for UK businesses?
Not mandatory for the private sector in general, but required for any organisation bidding on central UK Government contracts handling personal information or sensitive data. It is increasingly requested by enterprise customers and cyber insurance providers. The verified Cyber Essentials Plus variant adds an onsite assessment.
How does NIS2 apply to UK businesses after Brexit?
The EU NIS2 Directive does not directly apply in the UK. However, the UK is transposing its own equivalent via the Cyber Security & Resilience Bill (introduced 2024, passage expected 2026). UK MSPs and digital service providers should prepare for expanded scope and stricter incident reporting. Article 21 supply chain requirements may still apply to UK suppliers selling to EU-based clients.
When does a UK business need to register with the ICO?
Any organisation processing personal information as a data controller must pay the ICO data protection fee unless exempt (e.g., some not-for-profits). Tier 1 fee £40/year, Tier 2 £60/year, Tier 3 £2,900/year depending on size/turnover. Registration confirms compliance with the Data Protection (Charges and Information) Regulations 2018.
What is the UK MTD ITSA deadline?
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD ITSA) Phase 1 applies from 6 April 2026 for sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000. Phase 2 extends to those with income over £30,000 from April 2027. Quarterly digital submissions via HMRC-approved software become mandatory.
What does SBH monthly pricing look like?
UK SaaS tiers: Starter £99/month (5 agents), Pro £299/month (15 agents), Enterprise £999/month (40 agents). Annual pricing offers ~20% discount. SummitBridge Horizon Ltd is currently VAT-unregistered (below the £90,000 threshold) — invoices carry no VAT line.
