About Us
Global Data Privacy ConsultancyA Clear Vision, Born from Complexity
In an era of ever-changing regulations, we saw that businesses were struggling. The burden of data protection wasn’t just a legal hurdle; it was a barrier to growth, innovation, and peace of mind. Companies needed more than just a consultant; they needed a true compliance partner.
Formiti was founded on that principle. As data protection experts, we set out to build a new kind of data protection consultancy services- that combine deep legal and technical expertise with a practical, business-first approach. We wanted to replace complexity with clarity and anxiety with confidence.
Proudly Based in Birmingham, Serving the World
Our headquarters in Birmingham, UK, is the hub of our global operations. From this central location, we have built a unique global footprint, enabling us to provide local representation and expert project delivery across the UK, EU, Switzerland, Thailand, and beyond.
Our UK base gives our data privacy experts a unique perspective, allowing us to seamlessly manage data protection across multiple jurisdictions. We are not just a collection of disparate offices; we are one cohesive team capable of supporting your business with our data protection consultancy services wherever it operates.

Formiti Company FAQ
Mission Statement
“To empower organizations globally with practical, robust, and seamless data privacy solutions. We bridge the gap between complex regulations and operational reality, ensuring that compliance becomes a competitive advantage rather than a business barrier.”
Q1. What sets Formiti apart from other privacy consultancies?
Formiti is not just a regional advisor; we are a truly global privacy partner. Unlike generalist firms, we specialize exclusively in data privacy and hold a physical presence across the UK, EU, USA, and Asia. This allows us to provide “boots on the ground” representation (such as Article 27 service) and ensure your compliance strategy works seamlessly across borders—whether you are dealing with GDPR in Europe or CPRA in California.
Q2. Do you only handle GDPR compliance?
No. While the GDPR is the “gold standard” we often build upon, Formiti handles the full spectrum of global privacy regulations. We assist clients with the CCPA/CPRA (USA), PDPA (Thailand/Singapore), LGPD (Brazil), and many others. Our goal is to help you build a “Global Privacy Framework” that satisfies multiple jurisdictions simultaneously, rather than trying to manage a dozen different regional policies.
Q3. Are you a law firm?
We are a specialist data privacy consultancy, not a traditional law firm. While our team includes qualified legal experts and privacy professionals, our focus is on operational compliance. We don’t just tell you what the law says; we help you implement it practically within your IT systems, marketing workflows, and HR processes. If you require reserved legal activities (like litigation), we can work alongside your existing legal counsel.
Q4. Who are your typical clients?
We work with organizations of all sizes, from scaling tech startups to multinational enterprises. Our clients come from highly regulated sectors such as FinTech, HealthTech, and Education, as well as E-commerce and Manufacturing. Whether you need a fully outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) or ad-hoc support for a specific audit, our services scale to fit your organizational needs.
5. How does the "Outsourced DPO" service work?
When you engage Formiti as your outsourced DPO, you don’t just get a single person; you get the collective expertise of our entire international team. We act as your named DPO with regulators, handle Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), conduct impact assessments (DPIAs), and train your staff. It is a cost-effective way to access high-level expert guidance without the overhead of hiring a full-time, executive-level privacy officer.
