Data Protection Made Easy For Local Government

Local Government

Our Community

As public sector bodies, local authorities are subject to both the GDPR and the Freedom of Information Act (2000) (FoIA). It's a diverse sector with district councils and large city councils providing a range of services and processing a huge amount of different types of personal data about a broad range of people. We've found that most local authorities are sufficiently well resourced to operate a great inforamtion governance regime so in the main, our services to the sector are aligned to support data protection officers and information governance functions. Our SAR bureau takes the strain when large or complex requests are received. Our audit team provide assessments and assurance. Our support desk handles queries on points of law as they apply to the public sector. Our training team helps privacy professionals stay on top of their development. Our PCI DSS practice undertakes annual assessment, and DataWise provides a one-stop shop for accountability record keeping. resourcing can be a challenge in local government - find out how we can provide flexible, scalable, on-demand and cost effective services to supplement what you already have.

“DPP has helped us in numerous different areas over the last 6 months, from giving our Information Governance Framework a full refresh to answering complex questions related to data protection law.

I have been really impressed with Oliver Rear and Kathy Midgley and in particular the training services they have provided. They not only have a vast understanding of data protection, but they are also great people to work with. I feel comfortable that I can reach out to DPP at any time to help navigate complicated scenarios.”​

Gayle Richardson

DPO, Juniper Education

"We reached out to Data Protection People for their support desk services, they assess our organisation and helped to highlight areas of compliance that needed attention, 12 months after using their support services we decided to use them as an outsourced DPO which really tied the service together.

I would highly recommend using a combination of the outsourced DPO service and DPP’s support desk, their help and advice has been invaluable."

Debbie Walters

Intelligent Health

"I can't recommend Data Protection People enough, they have helped me in so many different areas, no matter how complex the challenge or how large the obstacle, DPP always have the answer.

I can call Oliver or David at any time and have built an amazing relationship with them, in times of frustration they are there to calm me down and create a plan, they are a pleasure to work with."
