# Fifth Square Ltd
Fifth Square is a Bury Saint Edmunds-based data privacy and cybersecurity consultancy specialising in helping small and medium-sized businesses achieve and maintain GDPR compliance. Founded by Simon Ghent, a CIPP/E certified information privacy professional, the firm brings over 20 years of combined IT and business consultancy expertise to organisations that lack dedicated compliance resources.
The company addresses a critical gap in the market by translating enterprise-level data protection practices into practical, affordable solutions for SMBs and SMEs. Rather than pushing vendor-specific products, Fifth Square provides independent, vendor-agnostic advice tailored to each client's specific circumstances and risk profile.
Their core offering centres on compliance assessment and preparation, helping businesses understand their data security obligations and implement demonstrable controls. Simon Ghent holds multiple relevant certifications including CIPM (Information Privacy Professional/Management) and is accredited as a Cyber Essentials Assessor through IASME, giving clients access to independent verification of their security posture.
What distinguishes Fifth Square is their pragmatic approach. They recognise that smaller organisations face genuine resource constraints, which is why they've specifically designed their service range around assessment, preparation and ongoing maintenance rather than one-off implementations. Their free Data Security Compliance Health Check offers businesses an accessible entry point to understanding their compliance status.
The firm holds IASME Gold GDPR Qualified Provider accreditation, demonstrating their commitment to maintaining professional standards and staying current with evolving regulatory requirements.
