Data Protection Made Easy podcast

I regularly listen to DDP’s Data Protection Made Easy podcast which has made a real difference to how I approach data protection issues in my organisation. I found the most recent series on data breaches particularly helpful - I’m planning on implementing a breach matrix that Carrie explained so helpfully, as always. She’s a star!

Helpful advice, simply explained

I am clueless when it comes to anything data protection so I found the advice I got from DPP a lifesaver. Carrie especially has been a huge help in navigating some particularly complicated data breaches. 10/10 would recommend

Reliable, dependable and great to work with

I have worked with the Data Protection People for some time now. Their expertise has been drawn upon to assist us with our GDPR compliance gap analysis project, ROPA design and production through to conducting objective reviews and surveys. They are always available to help us out and their advice and guidance is excellent and delivered in a timely way. Special mentions to Kathy Midgley, Phil Brining, Oliver Rear and Jasmin Harrison and David Hendry. A great, reliable and dependable service!

The company has been a pleasure to work…

The company has been a pleasure to work with. The depth and knowledge of their staff are second to none, especially David Holmes who is pragmatic in his advice and down to earth on how to achieve compliance. Your data protection and information security could not be in safer hands.

If I could clone them as a supplier, I would!

I've worked closely with Kathy Midgley and Oliver Rear over the last few years regarding all our GDPR matters and have to say, I wish all suppliers were as responsive and happy to help! Highly recommend DPP, without hesitation, and would gladly work with them again in the future.

Fab service from The Data Protection…

Fab service from The Data Protection People. I have used them for training, consultancy and general "help, what should I do with this..." queries. They are about to assist us with an audit too, that process has been slick and impressive so far.

The team are very friendly, knowledgeable and always quick and happy to help. I mostly deal with Kathy Midgely who is a star and has helped with all my queries and puts me in touch with other colleagues about specific subjects when required such as Olly, Jasmine and Linn.

Excellent

Kathy's been a great help in getting data protection firmly put on the company's agenda. Knowledgable and pragmatic I'd firmly recommend DPP.
Thanks also to Zara for her massively helpful comments on various policies, steering us in the right direction.

Thanks David

I've found David to be very knowledgeable and supportive. He delivers his expertise in an enthusiastic manner, and makes applying data protection in real situations easy. He was available at short notice previously when an urgent matter came up and is always happy to provide advice. His passion for data protection is evident and I really enjoy the DPP podcasts

A great company to work with!

DPP have been our external advisors for a number of years and have always been very helpful and provided us with excellent timely support and advice.

In the short time that we at RLSS UK have been working with Carrie as our DPO she has been professional, supportive and knowledgeable with an amazing ability to break through the DP jargon and put it into a language that all staff understand. Thanks Carrie!

Data protection people helped us set-up our data protection framework from the start. We worked with David Holmes who was instrumental in supporting us and putting the right structure in place. David's strength lies in his ability to break down complex DP jargon into very accessible and actionable simple steps which made our job a lot easier.
