Throughout the years of working with charities, DPO Centre appreciate that every penny counts and all available resources need to be focussed on services. However, charities need access to expert advice and guidance to ensure they run efficiently and remain compliant with the law. The DPO Centre is proud to be able to offer their Charity and Community Fund.
The fund’s purpose is to provide access to our data protection consultancy services, but at an 80% funded rate, therefore enabling worthy causes to access their expertise, but with the least effect on their ability to fund their core purpose.
The consultancy service will:
- Give you immediate access to subject matter experts and a broadly experienced team of data protection professionals
- Remove ‘unknowns’ experienced when conducting a similar process internally
- Give you peace of mind that you are working with one of the largest, most established data protection providers available
- Decrease the potential for compliance failure across the organisation
- Substantially reduce regulatory and reputational risk
- Ultimately leading to improved trust, increased engagement, elevated reputation – promoting ever-increasing organisational value
The DPO Charity Fund provides access to data protection consultancy services at an 80% funded rate. Eligible charities can apply for funding towards:
- Information asset register and data mapping
- Policy drafting and review
- Impact assessments and gap analysis
