Testimonials
“As an organisation with a complex global structure, data protection compliance seemed like a daunting topic to tackle, but Trace was able to break the issues down in simple bite sized chunks, so that even the most reluctant staff engage. The platform is so effective, yet simple to use. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
Richard Hart, WWF International
“We’ve been delighted to work with Trace Data who enabled us to put Privacy by Design principles into practice quickly and effectively. This has enabled us to accelerate progress against our mission.”
Kevin Collins, Interim CEO, Smart Data Foundry
“We wanted to make data compliance something that everyone in the organisation could contribute to, and own, on an ongoing basis. Our sprint has given us the confidence of knowing all our documentation is all up to date and readily accessible in one place, and that we are well set up with a roadmap for continued compliance against the highest standards. Overarchingly, we wanted to make compliance a competitive advantage and it’s great to work with the commercially-minded team at Trace to make that happen.”
