GDPR & Data Protection Act Case Studies

At The DPO Centre, we understand that every organisation is different, as even organisations in the same industry may not have the same requirements. We offer help and tailored support to organisations across a wide variety of sectors,  assisting them to comply with data protection laws such as the UK and EU GDPR.  

 

On this page, we’ve featured case studies from a cross section of our client base of over 850 organisations. These case studies feature clients from a range of industry sectors, including tech, consumer products and services, health and medical, life sciences and clinical trials, charities and education.  They highlight our work with these clients where we’ve provided outsourced DPO consultancy, UK and EU Representation services, Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) support, and staff training and awareness.

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.
