Are you struggling to create policies and/or procedures to support your data protection and information securityframework?
Do your policies need updating with the latest changes in data protection regulations? We can help with our policies for data protection, data breaches, DPIAs, information security, “bring your own device” (BYOD), governance framework, and many more.
Are you struggling to complete a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) or a Records of Processing Activities (ROPA)?
Does your organisation need help to complete the required documents to demonstrate compliance? We can help create these documents from scratch, or review and update your existing documents to ensure that they are fit for purpose, advising on any areas where improvements are needed.
The CEO of MENSTRUAL CYCLE SUPPORT approached DPAS looking for legal support. The DPAS team were able to quickly help the client create Data Sharing Agreements and a range of data protection policies, enabling the customer to feel confident when launching the new service.
"
I was extremely relieved to find the friendly team and excellent service at DPAS.
They went out of their way to support me in a short timeframe, not only to fulfil my data privacy criteria – which included more complex special category data processing – but also with trusted legal support, which – being all under one DPAS roof – was easier to access and significantly more time and cost effective”
Does the drafting or review of Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) pose a challenge for your organisation?
Do you grapple with the complexities, legalities, and the sheer volume of these agreements? We offer expert services for the drafting and review of your DPAs to help you navigate and engage with customers or partners more efficiently, while remaining compliant and avoiding risk.
Data Sharing Agreements are a fundamental aspect of complying with accountability obligations under regulations like the UK GDPR.
We assist you in establishing and managing data sharing agreements which articulate the purpose of data sharing, define data handling procedures at each stage, and clarify the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved in compliance.
"I WOULDN'T HESITATE USING THE TEAM AT DPAS AGAIN "
When faced with a complex Subject Access Request, we went out to the market to look for a provider that had the knowledge and experience to complete the data conversion and redaction on our behalf. We were impressed with the team at DPAS from the offset and entrusted them to deliver the required redacted documents within the legal timeframes. We found the team responsive and also accommodating when we needed tweaks to how the final information was presented – I wouldn’t hesitate using the team at DPAS again.

Since the commencement of the project, we have received fantastic service delivered by a great team - making a highly complex project easy to digest.

"THOROUGH, EFFICIENT, AND REMARKABLY UNOBTRUSIVE FROM AN OPERATIONS PERSPECTIVE"
We enlisted DPAS to help with our journey to GDPR compliance, as we didn't have the resources and skills within our team. DPAS' approach was thorough, efficient and remarkably unobtrusive from an operations perspective.
Post completion of the project, we had a clearer idea of the risks and issues that attend GDPR compliance directly, and could tidy up in-house data processing to ensure we are more efficient as a business.

"DPAS REALLY HELPED TO TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF BY HELPING WITH COMPLEX SARS, AND DPIAS"
On top of an already demanding workload, we had a new system integration, a merger to form a new Trust, and the impact of COVID to deal with. DPAS really helped to take the pressure off by assisting with complex SARs, and DPIAs. With no idea how many SARs you may receive, having the ability to flex by using additional resources can be quite useful. Knowing I can rely on Charlotte's support with DPIAs and data sharing agreements really takes the pressure off. It's really helpful having someone that can take the time out to review requests.

"EVERY ONE OF THE TEAM IS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND EXTREMELY COMPETENT"
DPAS have been hugely helpful in recent years, in ensuring that SWAST are doing our best and continuing to comply with information governance best practice and compliance. From our experience, every one of the team is knowledgeable and extremely competent. We have benefited from a range of services from DPAS and specifically with them acting as our Data Protection Officer. They have offered training and advice, and added to our Information Governance capacity, which was welcome and much needed.

"DPAS IMPRESSED US WITH THE BREADTH AND DEPTH OF THE SERVICES THEY OFFERED"
We were looking for an independent review and audit of our data processing activities and policies across the Rhodes Trust and our partner programmes. When we went to the market, DPAS impressed us with the breadth and depth of the services they offered. We are a relatively complex organisation, but the DPAS team quickly understood how our work fits together, and throughout the audit process, I’ve appreciated the expertise of each member of the team that we’ve worked with. Their advice throughout has been reassuringly thorough, pragmatic, and tailored to our needs.

"WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE HIGH STANDARDS OF SERVICE RECEIVED "
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 DPAS as they were local and have 20 years of 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. I highly recommend Data Privacy Advisory if you have GDPR worries or you are considering having a Data Protection Officer look after your organisation.
