Datasense Consulting

What Datasense Consulting does

Datasense Consulting Ltd is a UK-based managed service provider (MSP) offering an integrated bundle of IT support, cybersecurity, telecommunications, and GDPR/data protection compliance services primarily to small and medium-sized enterprises. The company consolidates four traditionally siloed IT functions—managed IT support, cybersecurity, telecoms (mobile and VoIP), and Data Protection/GDPR compliance—into a single provider relationship, targeting SMEs that lack in-house technical expertise and wish to avoid coordinating multiple specialist vendors. Core products include managed IT with remote and onsite support, Managed EDR delivered through a partnership with Huntress, GDPR audits and outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) services led by a CIPP/E-certified officer, VoIP system supply and support, and staff training courses covering cybersecurity awareness and GDPR.

The company is organised around a lean specialist team of fewer than 10 people. Key personnel include Chris Lambert (Managed IT Services, 25 years' IT experience, advisor to the East Midlands Cyber Resilience Centre since 2024) and Gayle Parker (Data Protection Officer, CIPP/E qualified, with a track record of guiding hundreds of businesses through compliance programmes), supported by marketing lead Steph Byrne. The technology stack is assembled from best-of-breed third-party tools—Huntress for managed EDR, Cloudflare for site security, HubSpot/CRM, Xero for accounting, Harvest for project management, and WordPress—rather than proprietary platforms, so the value proposition rests on integration, accessibility, and jargon-free delivery rather than unique technology. Distribution is direct-sales led via website forms, phone, and email channels within the UK, with no resellers or channel partners indicated.

Commercially, Datasense generates revenue from a mix of subscription-based managed IT and managed EDR contracts, project-based GDPR and Data Protection consulting, ongoing outsourced DPO retainers, hardware-related telecoms supply, and per-session training course fees. Public pricing is limited; a Cyber Security Review is listed at £450 as a one-time assessment, with a free 15-minute consultation offered as a freemium entry point. The firm holds Cyber Essentials certification and is registered with the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (registration ZA8446890). The Datasense brand was consolidated in 2020 under the legal entity registered in 2018 (Companies House number 12086506), and operations remain entirely within England with no external institutional funding on record.
