Why our clients choose us

Royal Mail Data Services have been working with DQM GRC since 2003. The integrated governance service they provide to us is invaluable in the fight against data misuse and the protection of our valuable data assets. The DQM Team always go the extra mile required to exceed our expectations. We consider them a valuable extension to our knowledgeable team and a trusted partner.

Paul Davison Head of Royal Mail Data Services

The DQM GRC consultancy team were both highly knowledgeable and easy to work with and had the ability to operate at all levels in CRUK. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to work on Data Capability Consultancy assignments.

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.

We have worked with DQM GRC for many years and have always found them to be professional, pro-active and efficient. The output we receive is high quality and the process is always seamless from our point of view. 

Andrew Bridges Data Quality and Governance Manager, The Read Group

DQM GRC have really helped not only us to prepare for GDPR in relation to the work we do but also contributed towards its wider organisational ownership. As a result there is a growing sense of confidence and a diminishing sense of panic!

The Royal Mail Address Management Unit values the role that DQM plays in providing independent and accurate measurement of the quality of the data in our Postcode Address File. Having an independent set of eyes reporting back to us helps us to refine our processes to enhance the product for our customers.

Louise continues to be brilliant. She’s been helping with some quite complicated data issues relating to research that has enabled us to move forward with some quite groundbreaking studies. I know you won’t often hear about the positive impact of data protection (hence writing this!), but we now have the confidence to do so much more, and it will literally help to save lives and improve patient outcomes... so thank you!
