The GDPR Compliance Consultancy secures Cyber Essentials certification body status

The certification body status is confirmed in the wake of Howard Freeman (managing director of The GDPR Compliance Consultancy) successfully completing an intensive course designed to facilitate businesses through the certification process.

This certification body status itself is awarded through the National Cyber Security Centre’s Cyber Essentials Partner, namely the IASME Consortium. This is a a cyber security-focused business dedicated to keeping everyone safer online, both at home and at work, helping organisations of all sizes to protect themselves against cyber attack.
