Are you struggling to investigate your data incidents or data breaches? Does your organisation have no procedure in place for the management and investigation of data incidents or data breaches?
We offer bespoke data breach support services depending on your organisation’s needs, whether that’s a management solution on a permanent or temporary basis, or longer-term support. Outsourcing your data incident or data breach management is a cost-effective and efficient way to ensure compliance with data protection regulations, while still allowing you to focus on core business activities. Our team of experienced professionals will work closely with you to understand and meet your specific data protection needs.
You can also ‘pick and mix’ what support you need based on where there are gaps in your compliance. From a full root cause analysis to ad-hoc support with singular data breaches, DPAS will provide flexible support to ensure you are prepared to respond to any incidents.
DPAS will provide you with one-off services, either charged at a set fee or through a monthly retainer. This retainer allows you to call on us whenever you need our help. Our services start from as little as £750 (+VAT).
