Our history

The DPO Centre was founded in 2017 by Rob Masson, a serial entrepreneur and thought leader who has been involved in delivering solutions and services to some of the world’s largest and most respected companies.

The purpose of the DPO Centre is to help organisations identify how evolving data protection legislation will affect them, the steps they need to take to comply, and how, when implemented well, compliance builds trust, confidence, loyalty and engagement.

Since then, the DPO Centre has grown exponentially, working with an ever-growing client base and employing one of the largest and most experienced teams of privacy professionals available. In August 2020, the DPO Centre appointed a non-executive board of directors who, between them, have over 100 years’ experience in leading fast-growth businesses and entrepreneurship.

Our #ONETEAM philosophy is a fundamental element of our success, it sets us apart from our competitors, and enables us to consistently build on our core values of Respect, Adapt and Deliver.

Who we work with

The DPO Centre’s privacy experts work with a wide variety of organisations in a range of sectors including finance and insurance, medical and healthcare, software and technology, retail and ecommerceeducation and schools, charities and not-for-profits.

However, please don’t take just our word on our successes.  Please take a look at our case studies and testimonials.

We are really pleased with our DPO from The DPO Centre, who understood our needs and was able to translate them into a workable plan that has greatly assisted our business’s compliance journey. The DPO Centre’s advice and support has assisted us in ensuring that our compliance level has remained high despite the challenges that rapid growth presents.

The DPO Centre’s team are always on hand to answer any queries we may have and to help us respond to any Data Subject Access Requests from any trial member across the EU.

The DPO I had the pleasure of working with on that project is one of the best DPO/counsels I have worked with when it came to thoughtfully negotiating through a clinical trials-DPA, given his great working knowledge of the GDPR and the crossover with clinical trials regulations in both EU & UK.

It's been really cost-effective for my business to enlist the help of the DPO Centre - not only was I able to get a full impact assessment of my business and resolutions to the issues identified but I have received training on so many aspects of the GDPR.
