How we help
We take the stress out of your compliance with GDPR. We train your staff to help them make better decisions, we perform impact assessments to evaluate compliance and recommend actionable solutions, and then where required, we provide you with an experienced DPO to ensure your organisation gains ongoing value from your investment in compliance.
Awareness and Training
Your biggest risk to data protection is not related to IT, it’s your people. By starting with people first, we help create a culture of awareness, understanding and best practice, where data protection is key.
Impact Assessments
In order to know what to do, you need to know where you are. Impact assessments define the roadmap, giving you visibility of your data, and control over budgets, resources requirements and timescales.
Data Protection Officers
A DPO is the cornerstone of your ongoing compliance. They advise, implement and monitor; but most of all, they provide the guidance that ensures you get the highest return from your investment in data protection.
The DPO Centre provides Data Protection Officers across the UK
From just a few hours per quarter to multiple days per month, our experienced DPOs deliver the resources you need to smooth your path to compliance.
