DPOaaS for Schools

Our Data Protection Officer as a Service (DPOaaS) provides your organisation with a named, independent DPO to meet your obligations under GDPR and UK GDPR. We deliver continuous compliance monitoring, expert advice, and regulatory support without the cost or complexity of employing a full-time DPO.

Independent Expertise

We provide your school with a named, external Data Protection Officer—independent and recognised by the ICO. This ensures your statutory DPO duties are met without internal conflicts, offering professional oversight and clear accountability for data protection compliance.

Practical, Ongoing Guidance

We’re not just here in emergencies. You’ll have ongoing access to expert advice that’s easy to understand and apply, with support available whenever you need it. We help build a data protection culture that’s embedded into your school—not bolted on.

I am so happy with the service provided by DPS. My previous experience with DPOs has been principally risk averse... DPS have been phenomenal – helping us mitigate risks, implement new systems, and explore new ways of working while staying compliant with UK GDPR, DPA and the Common Law Duty of Confidentiality. They've helped us continue to deliver a high-quality service to patients and stakeholders.
