GDPR & Security
WKW are Committed to Secure, Compliant and Confidential Engineering Operations
Protecting Your Data, Designs and Intellectual Property With Robust, Sector Aligned Security Controls
Here at WKW, we understand that protecting client data is just as important as producing precision engineered components. Our clients, who operate in Aerospace, Defence, Nuclear, Sub Sea, Oil & Gas, Medical Devices, Renewables, Automotive and Creative/Sculpture Fabrication sectors, trust us with sensitive drawings, specifications, digital models and commercially valuable project information.
We take that trust extremely seriously.
Our GDPR and Security Framework ensures that all data entrusted to us is handled with the highest levels of confidentiality, integrity and availability, meeting or exceeding UK GDPR, industry best practice and defence/nuclear aligned information protection expectations.
GDPR Compliance & Data Protection
Strict Compliance With UK GDPR
