The problem we solved

Many organisations have already started implementing the GDPR, but there is a lack of continuity, clear ownership and the capacity to manage day-to-day operations.

1

Lack of internal time

Teams are juggling operations, clients, HR, IT and management, and privacy keeps getting pushed to the back burner.

2

Lack of specialisation

There are recurring queries regarding legal bases, notices, retention, data subjects, third parties or incidents.

3

Lack of continuity

There are policies and intentions, but without regular monitoring, implementation falls by the wayside and the risk increases.

What is included in the DPOaaS service

A model of ongoing support to help keep privacy alive in practice — and not just on paper.
