Managed Data Protection Officer and Support Services

Is your organisation struggling to manage all its data protection and compliance requirements? If so, you can consider outsourcing your data protection responsibilities. We’ll take care of your privacy and compliance requirements - leaving you free to crack on with your core business responsibilities and opportunities.

We provide a practical solution for organisations that either don’t have the necessary specialist expertise to fulfill their Data Protection Officer (DPO) obligations, or those that are just looking for extra Privacy and Compliance support on a provisional or project-based basis.

Our expert data protection consultants can become part of your in-house team. We can either act as your DPO or provide expert privacy support as and when your team needs it.

Privacy by Design, GDPR and data protection training workshops

We make Privacy by Design and compliance training fun so it produces real results.

No lecture-style slideshows or nodding off in these workshops – we take privacy regulation off the page and centre our training around active discussions and team-based activities (involving lemons, playdoh, and blindfolds…).

This learning-by-doing approach makes privacy training exciting, engaging and unforgettable. It ensures teams in every function develop a Privacy by Design attitude, not because they need to – but because they want to.

ISO 27701 assessments

ISO 27701 is the new international standard for privacy. It aligns with GDPR but also allows organisations to use the standard to encompass other privacy laws, regulations and requirements. This makes it an excellent choice for organisations of all sizes looking to demonstrate their compliance with GDPR.

Our ISO 27701 consultants can give your organisation a head start on getting ISO 27701 certified with our 4-stage action plan and assessment process.

DQM GRC initially conducted a GDPR readiness review which highlighted a number of areas the team at Pearson needed to work on to be ready for GDPR. Since the review they have been supporting us on site with our data mapping and Records of Processing. We have found their team to be supportive and helpful which has enabled us to move forward with our overall GDPR plan.

Most recently they ran a workshop to help us with our data mapping and Article 30 compliance and the software tools that could support this, as well as a breach response workshop which the team found valuable and engaging. I have already recommended their services to colleagues in the not for profit sector many times.
