4Louis, Wilder Coe’s charity of the year, is a very special charity to us at DPAS, and it’s one that we’re proud to support.

This UK charity works to support people who has experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of a baby or a child. They also aim to support bereaved families by improving the care they receive. 4Louis provides families with “memory boxes” with keepsakes and mementos to create everlasting memories of their child. They also offer free tools, equipment, and training hospital units, hospices, and other professionals who work with grieving families.

OUR VALUED CLIENTS

DPAS provides easy-to-understand data privacy and information security services that are always available, consistently pragmatic and continually exceeding expectations.

'We decided to use DPAS because we felt that they were a good fit for the BOXPARK brand being a boutique data protection advisory company. Since commencement of the project we have received fantastic service, delivered by a great team which has made a highly complex project easy to digest. They hit every deadline and continue to provide us, and our team, with easy to understand data protection advice and support.'

"I was trained by [Data Privacy Advisory Service] in June 2019, the course was fantastic, not only did they tailor the content to meet the needs of the data protection issues facing our clients but did so in a structured way that was easy to follow. The course was supported by a wide range of templates and documents and I now feel confident in managing the 10 million + records of data under my care. I highly recommend this service, exceptional value, clear instruction and a manageable way to get under the skin of data privacy."

"The University of Exeter Students’ Guild were keen to ensure we were delivering our GDPR commitment on time and on track. We therefore needed a qualified Data Protection Officer to monitor our progress, provide assurance that we were on the road to compliance and maintain the role going forward. We sourced Data Privacy Advisory as they were local and have 20 years Data Protection experience. We are very happy with the high standards of service received and the training provided was not only delivered professionally but completely tailored to our business type."

"We enlisted DPAS tohelp with our journey to GDPR compliance as we didn't have the resource and skills available within our team. DPAS' approach was thorough, efficient and remarkably unobtrusive from an operations perspective."

DPAS have provided support and training since 2019, when I first took on the responsibilities as Data Protection Officer. The monthly updates by email, free webinars and excellent online training courses are informative and keep us well informed. Bespoke on site training provided by DPAS for our Data Guardians has been particularly popular over the years and the 1:1 support for the DPO has made all the difference in building up a good knowledge base to ensure compliance with the law. Thank you DPAS!
