25 August 2020
THE GDPR Compliance Consultancy has become a Cyber Essentials certification body. This means that any UK businesses requiring assistance in attaining Cyber Essentials certification can now seek the support of The GDPR Compliance Consultancy in doing so.

We will continue to strive to improve our offer and will look to add Cyber Essentials Plus to further help our customers with their IT Governance.”
