Compliance
We become an extended part of your team, taking on the burden of compliance, allowing you to keep your business protected.
Start from zero
We can meet you at wherever you are in your compliance journey. We'll provide you with a comprehensive view of your compliance status, with a heat map of exactly where your data risks sit. We'll track various risk indicators within your business, such as your risk register, and open actions.
Don't settle for automation
Your dedicated data protection team of experts will bridge the compliance gaps, doing all of the heavy lifting to piece together the various elements of your data protection framework, so you can exceed global compliance requirements and build trust, fast.
Keep your business protected
Data protection compliance is a moving target that will constantly shape shift over time – just like your business. We'll always be there to ensure you stay compliant, with uncapped expert support, including with due diligence, subject access requests and data breaches.
Showcase
We ensure your commitment to compliance is visible, credible and compelling through effective storytelling and brand trust-building.
Pass due diligence effortlessly
Now that your compliance framework is water tight, it's only right that you show it off. Whether its for your users, investors, or partners – we'll provide documented verification, so your compliance and commitment to data protection, is easily demonstrable.
Showcase your compliance
We transform compliance from a dry legal necessity, into a compelling brand asset. We use compliance storytelling to strategically communicate your commitment to privacy, security, and ethical data practices in a way that builds trust with customers, investors, and partners.
Become a trustworthy leader
True data protection requires a fundamental shift in how businesses think about and implement privacy. Your dedicated change agents help you to embed privacy by design into your operations, ensuring that compliance becomes a core business value, and you're positioned as a responsible, trustworthy leader in your industry.
Academy
Empower your teams and users, with the knowledge and skills to integrate data protection into everything they build and use.
Boost performance
Privacy and security are only as strong as the people behind them. Our internal training programmes are designed to equip employees at all levels with the knowledge and skills to embed privacy into everyday operations and reduce risk – through engaging workshops and e-learning modules, role specific and tailored to your business.

Are you a DPO as-a-service (DPOaaS)?Yes, and no. Although we do operate as a DPOaaS, by partnering with us you get the support of a team of experts, not just a single DPO. This includes experts in change management and storytelling, ensuring your compliance is effectively communicated, and transformed into a competitive advantage. We don't put a cap on the amount of support we provide, it's unlimited. So we essentially become part of your team, at the fraction of the cost of hiring in-house or outsourcing elsewhere.
-
Am I legally required to appoint a DPO?You may have a legal duty to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO). One example under GDPR, is if your business processes ‘special category’ data such as: personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin; personal data revealing political opinions; personal data revealing religious or philosophical beliefs; personal data revealing trade union membership; genetic data; biometric data (where used for identification purposes); data concerning health; data concerning a person’s sex life; and data concerning a person’s sexual orientation.
-
Who can be a DPO?There are strict requirements around who can act as your DPO. Here are some examples: Your DPO MUST be independent, without any conflict of interest. For example, they can't have an executive role in the company. Your DPO MUST be an expert in data protection They need to be adequately qualified and experienced to know the regulations inside-out. Your DPO can be an internal employee, or externally appointed (outsourced).
-
What if we're not ready for a DPO yet?Not required to appoint a formal DPO? Or just not ready yet? Our "Core" plan is built for startups that don't necessarily need to appoint a formal DPO, but still want to achieve and maintain data protection compliance. You'll still get unlimited support from a qualified and dedicated DPO, along with everything your business needs to stay compliant with global data protection requirements. See our Pricing page, or get in touch with us to find out more!

What is compliance showcasing?We help you to transform compliance from a dry legal necessity into a compelling brand asset. Compliance Showcasing is about communicating your commitment to privacy, security, and ethical data practices in a way that builds trust with customers, investors, and partners. Too often, startups struggle to articulate their compliance efforts in a way that resonates beyond legal teams. We bridge that gap by crafting clear, engaging narratives that showcase your privacy-first approach – turning compliance into a competitive advantage rather than a regulatory burden.
-
Will you provide all of the data protection policies and frameworks that we need?Yes! No matter what plan you decide to go for, we ensure that you have all of the necessary policies, processes and frameworks in place to be compliant with global data protection requirements. We also provide you with uncapped ongoing support, to make sure everything is always up to date, compliant, and to help with anything that may pop up.

Why should I choose Onteigo, over an external consultant?Traditional consultants typically come in, solve for a snapshot in time, charge a fee, then leave. This is great for larger established businesses that don't change much! However, this can quickly become a monetary black hole for startups that need to continually iterate as they grow. At Onteigo, we are built around the needs of innovative, fast-paced startups that need to know that compliance is taken care of, no matter how much they pivot, innovate or grow.
-
Why should I choose Onteigo, over a Software-heavy platform?SaaS platforms typically offer generic, template driven compliance frameworks, and are a great option for very low risk businesses! At Onteigo, we specialise in working with innovative and data-driven startups that require more embedded and competent support. We navigate the grey areas and complexities of data protection and ensure you're always protected, and we implement bespoke compliance strategies that facilitate innovation and growth, rather than hindering it with generic outputs and excessive red tape.
-
How much time and effort will it cost my team?Very little! We've made sure that our processes are as time efficient as possible. Generally, we'll initially meet with department heads, to understand and map out how data is being processed within the business. We'll then only meet with specified stakeholders on a regular basis. Once we're onboard, we'll operate as an extension of your internal team and take complete care of your data protection compliance framework.
