WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Our clients trust DPAS for dependable data protection consultancy and training 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."
