Ensure Compliance with our International Data Transfer Agreement Support
Does your organisation transfer personal data internationally? What is an international data transfer agreement (IDTA)? An IDTA is a contractual agreement that governs the transfer of personal data from one country to another. It ensures that the transfer of data complies with the laws of the country in which the data is held, which is of particular importance where the data is transferred from one country where the rules and laws are much stricter, to another country where there are perhaps no laws even in place. We understand that not every organisation will have the knowledge base to deal with such agreements. DPAS provides bespoke, high quality and cost-effective services related to international data transfers.

"I WAS EXTREMELY RELIEVED TO FIND THE FRIENDLY TEAM AND EXCELLENT SERVICE AT DPAS"
They went out of their way to support me in a short timeframe, not only to fulfil my data privacy criteria - which included more complex special category data processing - but also with trusted legal support, which - being all under one DPAS roof - was easier to access and significantly more time and cost effective.

"THOROUGH, EFFICIENT, AND REMARKABLY UNOBTRUSIVE FROM AN OPERATIONS PERSPECTIVE"
We enlisted DPAS to help with our journey to GDPR compliance, as we didn't have the resources and skills within our team. DPAS' approach was thorough, efficient and remarkably unobtrusive from an operations perspective.
Post completion of the project, we had a clearer idea of the risks and issues that attend GDPR compliance directly, and could tidy up in-house data processing to ensure we are more efficient as a business.

"DPAS REALLY HELPED TO TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF BY HELPING WITH COMPLEX SARS, AND DPIAS"
On top of an already demanding workload, we had a new system integration, a merger to form a new Trust, and the impact of COVID to deal with. DPAS really helped to take the pressure off by assisting with complex SARs, and DPIAs. With no idea how many SARs you may receive, having the ability to flex by using additional resources can be quite useful. Knowing I can rely on Charlotte's support with DPIAs and data sharing agreements really takes the pressure off. It's really helpful having someone that can take the time out to review requests.

DPAS have been hugely helpful in recent years, in ensuring that SWAST are doing our best and continuing to comply with information governance best practice and compliance.

"DPAS IMPRESSED US WITH THE BREADTH AND DEPTH OF THE SERVICES THEY OFFERED"
We were looking for an independent review and audit of our data processing activities and policies across the Rhodes Trust and our partner programmes. When we went to the market, DPAS impressed us with the breadth and depth of the services they offered. We are a relatively complex organisation, but the DPAS team quickly understood how our work fits together, and throughout the audit process, I’ve appreciated the expertise of each member of the team that we’ve worked with. Their advice throughout has been reassuringly thorough, pragmatic, and tailored to our needs.

"WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE HIGH STANDARDS OF SERVICE RECEIVED "
The University of Exeter Students’ Guild were keen to ensure we were delivering our GDPR commitment on time and on track.
We therefore needed a qualified Data Protection Officer to monitor
our progress, provide assurance that we were on the road to compliance, and maintain the role going forward. We sourced DPAS as they were local and have 20 years of data protection experience. We are very happy with the high standards of service received, and the training provided was not only delivered professionally, but completely tailored to our business type. I highly recommend Data Privacy Advisory if you have GDPR worries or you are considering having a Data Protection Officer look after your organisation.

"I WOULDN'T HESITATE USING THE TEAM AT DPAS AGAIN "
When faced with a complex Subject Access Request, we went out to the market to look for a provider that had the knowledge and experience to complete the data conversion and redaction on our behalf. We were impressed with the team at DPAS from the offset and entrusted them to deliver the required redacted documents within the legal timeframes. We found the team responsive and also accommodating when we needed tweaks to how the final information was presented – I wouldn’t hesitate using the team at DPAS again.
