Global team of data protection and AI governance specialists
The DPO Centre is a leading outsourced data protection and AI governance partner for organisations that handle complex, sensitive, and regulated data.
Since 2017, we have supported more than 1,200 organisations worldwide, providing access to specialist expertise without the cost or complexity of building these capabilities in-house.
We work across regulated and data-rich sectors, including Life Sciences, Healthcare, Finance, Technology, Retail, Manufacturing, Education, and Charities.
Our model is personal by design. Each client works with a dedicated DPO, backed by a wider team of experts. Alongside outsourced DPOs, we deliver AI Officer services, UK and EU GDPR Representation, DSAR Response support and specialist privacy and AI governance expertise.
THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE
Data protection compliance has always needed more than legal knowledge. It needs an experienced DPO who can work with internal teams, understand how an organisation operates, and give advice that is both compliant and practical.
When the GDPR took effect in 2018, the need for expert support became urgent. Today, with the complexity of different regulations and obligations, and new governance responsibilities around AI, that need is only growing.
The DPO Centre was founded to make specialist expertise easier to access. From the beginning, our model has been built around dedicated specialists, tailored support, and the strength of a wider team.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
While plenty of providers can offer a single consultant, we bring you a team.
You have a DPO lead who gets to know your organisation, your risks and your priorities, while drawing on colleagues with specialist knowledge across sectors, services and jurisdictions. Whatever challenge you’re facing, someone on our team has faced it before.
Our #ONETEAM philosophy is at the heart of our organisation, along with our core values of Respect, Adapt, and Deliver. These values guide how we work with clients every day: listening first, adapting to each need, and delivering hands-on support for complex data protection risks and compliance obligations.
