Why Train?

The Benefits of having a skilled Workforce

A Framework Approach to Business

Data privacy and information security are now a prerequisite for business deals as well as venture capital investment. We help you to put the right processes in place and attain important certifications such as ISO 27701.

Earn Customer Trust

Consumers have grown weary of sharing their information with businesses. With strong data privacy practices and a transparent approach to consent, you can set your brand apart whilst learning more about your customer base.

Reduce People Risk

Businesses don’t process people, they process data about people. Understanding that provision of services to both our Customers and our Staff requires industry knowledge on how to address these People risks, is key to reducing what is commonly known as “non-malicious data breaches”

Certified Training Options

We are strong believers in the benefits of Certification. Not only does certification benefit the individual who gains success in their Examinations, building out a Training opportunity for staff development is also a great way for organisations to attract and retain, key members of their teams.

The Data Protection industry only has one true leader when it comes to Certification based training, and that is theInternational Association of Privacy Professionals
