GDPR for Schools and Small & Medium Sized Businesses (SMEs)

Keeping compliance simple!

GDPR Support Packages

We offer a range of support packages for schools and small businesses

Platinum Package- Outsourced Data Protection Officer

This package provides your organisation with a dedicated, approachable and easy to access Data Protection Officer (qualified in Data Protection Law), giving you complete reassurance that you will be fully supported throughout your journey to compliance and maintaining this thereafter.

Gold Package - Core Support for Data Protection Officers

This package offers great support to organisations who have a grasp of their data protection obligations, but perhaps lack the time, knowledge or expertise to fully assess their compliance needs or provide expert opinion on complex or delicate data protection matters. This package is great for supporting Data Protection Officers or leads newly appointed to the role, who need a bit of support and direction to help them achieve compliance.

Silver Package - Essential Support

This package is for organisations who would like training material, expert advice and support with their documentation.

Advice Helpline

As well as offering affordable GDPR support packages, we also offer an expert advice helpline (telephone, video conference and email support), to help talk through any complex, sensitive or tricky compliance issues, or if you simply want to check you're heading in the right direction! If you don't want to commit to buying lots of advice time in advance, no problem, you can pay as you go and buy 5hr credits at a time!

We also offer Tailored Support Packages

Schools and Small Businesses - when might you need us?
