We help businesses like yours become compliant with the GDPR regulations.

It’s a very simple three stage process:

If you are a business starting from the beginning or have come some of the way but given up:

  1. We provide an Audit and gap analysis of your current level of GDPR compliance.
  2. We interview key people within your business who handle data and IT systems to gauge what you already have in place.
  3. We provide a gap analysis report along with a project plan showing what changes need to take place. This is your compliance journey mapped to your business.

All this for just £1500 plus VAT

This allows you the option to do as much or as little as you want, using me just for the audit or for writing policies and training as you require, at additional cost.

Audit your level of compliance from just £1500

Some of the businesses we’ve helped:

SCHOOLS

Simon helped train all our staff from the headmaster to the support workers in the essentials of GDPR, a great help.

IT BUSINESS

It’s essential a business like ours is compliant with the regulation as our customers expect it from day one. PMA helped us become compliant which meant we could pitch for further projects and attract more customers.

MANUFACTURING BUSINESS

I didn’t think we had any data but PMA explained staff data is included within the GDPR parameters. Help with our security and policies was provided helping us on the road to compliance.

ONLINE BANKING APP

We were having conversations with the ICO about complaints and possible breaches, we bought Simon in as our DPO and he helped resolve the customer issues and liaised with the ICO to ensure no fines were administered on us.

PACKAGING COMPANY

As MD of my business I was spending too much time working through GDPR without moving forward much, PMA were able to pick up the reigns and move us forward to a good level of compliance within the business.

Frequently asked questions…

What is a data breach?

This is the term used when you lose your data. It can happen because of human error or by malicious intent. You need to ensure you are at least prepared for this event. This will involve a plan for the management of a data breach within your business including liaison with the ICO and other stakeholders impacted by the data breach.

The GDPR states you must advise the ICO within 72 hours of any data breach where personal data has been compromised. It’s important to manage the interaction with the ICO to ensure you are seen in a positive light. If you have shareholders supporting your business, they must be considered when you go public with the news.

Why do you need training for GDPR?

The ICO recognises training as an important element of accountability and compliance with GDPR. Experience has shown the human element of any organisation is the weakest link in losing data or clicking onto a phishing email link.

It’s important to provide training modules that are bespoke to the teams in your business. I answer the question most employees have which is “what do I need to do differently in my role under GDPR?”. These sessions can be delivered face to face or over Zoom.

How do I know if I need a DPO?

If you are processing a lot of data then you will need a DPO. Many businesses feel it is necessary to ensure they remain compliant and to deal effectively with any issues. This doesn’t have to be a full-time role and can be done virtually or on a part-time basis.

Your DPO would deal with the ICO directly, manage any data breaches, update policies, test processes train teams in the principles of GDPR. Many are expected to be the consumer champion to ensure personal data is not being used illegally.

You may have specific questions relating to your own experiences or a general query relating to data protection,
