Human risk has officially become the top cybersecurity challenge. Despite massive investments in technology, breaches are still happening because security is a human problem, not a technical one. With cyber-attacks frequently resulting in data breaches, it’s clear that generic, one-size-fits-all training often fails to address the unique data protection challenges and risks of a specific business.
At Data Privacy Advisory Service, we specialise in creating custom data protection, cyber security and AI training programs that are perfectly tailored to your organisation’s risk profile, specific needs, industry, and the roles of your employees. Our goal is to embed a culture of protection and accountability, empowering your staff with the practical knowledge and skills they need to handle personal data with confidence and care.
We design every session to be engaging, relevant, and actionable, ensuring your team understands not just the “what” but the “why” of data protection law. Over the past 10 years we’ve worked with SMEs, FTSE 100s and hundreds of organisations in between. Creating bespoke training programmes for their employees, ensuring that their staff know how to confidently handle data and manage cyber risk.

This executive-level training is designed to equip your board and senior management with a strategic understanding of data protection, focusing on risk, accountability, and competitive advantage.
This practical training focuses on the specific data protection challenges and opportunities faced by teams who handle customer data daily, from lead generation to email campaigns.
This engaging and accessible training is for every employee, providing them with the fundamental knowledge to protect your company’s data and identify threats in their daily work.
Relevance: Generic courses often use irrelevant examples. Our training uses real-world scenarios and examples from your business, making the content more memorable and applicable.
Efficiency: We focus on the information that is essential for each role, preventing “information overload” and saving valuable staff time.
Risk Reduction: By addressing the specific risks and data flows within your organisation, bespoke training directly mitigates your biggest vulnerabilities and reduces the likelihood of costly data breaches and regulatory fines.
Accountability: The GDPR and other regulations place a strong emphasis on accountability. Custom training helps you demonstrate to regulators that you have taken “appropriate organisational measures” to ensure compliance.
Employee Engagement: When training is relevant and interactive, employees are more likely to be engaged, retain the information, and apply it in their daily work.
Cost Effective: To send one employee on a training course it might cost £195 for half a day of training. At DPAS we can train up to 40 per session for only £50pp, depending on the length and subject.
We begin with a consultation to understand your business, your current practices, and your specific training goals.
All training is delivered by our experienced data protection consultants, who are experts in both the legal requirements and practical application of data protection law.
We develop unique training materials, including presentations, workbooks, and case studies, depending on what is required, which can be branded to your business.
We don’t just deliver courses, and leave you to it. We provide you access to our online portal – which contains dozens of useful tools, templates, audits, policies, and more – all available for you to use within your organisation.
We offer both in-person workshops at your premises and live virtual training sessions to accommodate your team’s needs.
We can provide follow-up resources, such as a summary of key points and a Q&A session, to ensure long-term knowledge retention.
