To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Very Helpful!

I phoned to get some advice regarding a particularly difficult data breach. Carrie was friendly, knowledgeable and made it easy to work out next steps. Made me feel much better, great service, thank you!

Oliver Rear of the DPP has not only…

Oliver Rear of the DPP has not only been a wealth of knowledge and guidance on all issues relating to the DPA 2018 or The GDPR, but has also been a huge support to our DP function overall. Oliver is a great listener and trainer and gives practical, sound advice, whenever called upon. I would also like to add that all staff I have ever worked with at the DPP have been helpful, friendly and experts within in their field and I would not hesitate to recommend their services.

First ever Podcast!

Really enjoyed my first ever podcast. SARS, not a topic I know enough about, but Oli and Carrie made it easier to understand. I have listened to a couple of others since, as time and my diary allowed.

Data Breach Training provided by Ed, Carrie and Myles

DPP organised a training session relation to the data breaches and our internal procedure. It has been very well organised and interactive session. The information provided and examples used were very clear and useful. Staff were asked questions in different format, which made them more engaged. The session was organised by Ed, Carrie and Myles.

Fantastic office with wonderful staff. Did some photography and videography work for DPP, was helped out by Myles who was a great liason and very helpful. Everyone was so personable and understanding, would recommend!

Through word of mouth I heard about DPP's GDPR Radio Show and I am now a weekly listener. The show provides really insightful and useful coverage on a wide range of DP topics with guest speakers and practical knowledge and advice. Thank you!

The Data Protection People & spirit animals …

The Data Protection People fortnightly podcast is amazing and hearing Dave stand on his proverbial soapbox to share his passionate views on all things privacy related is my spirit animal. I aspire to be as knowledgeable as him when I grow up! But sadly I'm the same age. Highly recommended 👌

Great company

Working with DPP was amazing. From the get go everyone was welcoming and helpful wherever possible. Being in the sales team, I was lucky to have Robert and David as mentors. From advising to providing hands on practices, I’ve been able to get valuable experience to use continually in my career.

A great company to work for especially as a graduate. Guiding you through the changes to become an effective working adult. DPP helped bridge that gap.

DPP have been our external advisors for all matters GDPR for a number of years. The advice and guidance from our account manager Jasmine is pragmatic and informative, whilst the speed and level of support is second to none.

Data Protection People Webinars

I've recently listened to several Data Protection People Radio/News/Reviews on Friday lunchtimes and really found them helpful. I enjoy their magazine type format of the latest DP news and issues, discussion between the 2 or 3 presenters and interaction with listeners' comments. Their practical advice and pragmatic approach is very useful and helps assure me about what is a sensible way forward.

DPP's lunch time takeaways

I recently subscribed to DPP's lunch time takeaway sessions. I have found them incredibly useful. They are jam packed with knowledge and each week they cover a new area around data protection. They value opinions of their attendees by asking for future topic ideas.
