About Us
Who are aRC data protection services?
ARC is part of Barnsley Healthcare Federation, which has been around since 2015. Meaning we have the heritage, backing, expertise and certified GDPR colleagues and practitioners available to us, enabling ARC to be created.
At Barnsley Healthcare Federation we’ve been managing the data for our many GP practices, so we are particularly well-placed to look after your organisation. We look after over 240,000 patients data safely!
Why is Data protection so important?
We quickly realised that since the inception of GDPR back in 2018, the data protection landscape would change quite rapidly, hence creating our own in-house Data Protection team to assist local businesses with such vital issues.
We fully appreciate and understand how daunting a task it can be to remain compliant. Let’s face it, it’s a crucial part of your business and one wrong move could result in untold misadventures within your business.
Whilst you may not have the need for a full-time DPO (Data Protection Officer), it is a role which requires experience and specialist data protection expertise. You can use our services as you see fit, to set you on the right path, or to be there for the full journey. It’s up to you.

I recently had the privilege of utilising the data protection services offered by Arc Data Protection Services, and I must say, it has been a game-changer for my organisation. This service has provided us with a level of security and peace of mind that is truly invaluable.
Data protection management is a key area that all organisations have to manage well. The role of the audit was to embrace the function it plays within our practice. It independently assessed the practice management of risk around data protection and prevention by performing a robust risk assessment at practice level.
