Data Protection Officer packages
We provider three Tiers of service to scale with the complexity of your business needs.
With a choice of three tiers of support, our Data Protection Officer service scales to meet your requirements, managing the risk of data protection compliance so you can get on with business as usual.
A dedicated member from our team of expert lawyers will fulfil the role of DPO in your business. As your extended in-house support, we’ll take ownership of your data protection responsibilities, keeping your business compliant and accountable.
We work closely with you and understand your business objectives, helping you leverage data across your business relationships and allowing you to be confident in meeting your data protection requirements.
When you work with us, you’ll benefit from:
A more cost-effective solution
Employing a full-time DPO and ensuring they stay up-to-date with privacy laws and regulations is expensive. Our tiered packages mean you only need to pay for the level of support you require while tapping into our vast experience. We’ll keep you focused so time and resources aren’t wasted on unnecessary activities.
Improving relationships by demonstrating your commitment to accountability
Not only is this a requirement of UK GDPR, but working with us can also help improve relationships with suppliers, customers and your staff. Using Harper James as your DPO shows the outside world that you’re a business who wants to do the right things with data protection.
Being informed and up-to-date
Enjoy peace of mind that you’re developing suitable policies and procedures and your business is up-to-date with its obligations under data protection legislation. We’re here to demystify the complexities of data protection and keep you informed of any important changes relevant to your business.
A single point of contact
We can act as your point of contact for all data protection queries, both internal and external. We’ll also be your champion for data privacy best practice across the business, raising awareness and demonstrating best practice.
As outsourced experts we can take an objective, high-level view of the data protection issues facing your business, removing any conflicts of interest, and reducing internal bureaucracy. In practice this means we can assist your different functions to implement a culture of data protection by default and design at the development of any new product or service.
As a full service commercial law firm, we go beyond the standard consultancy services offered by other DPO practitioners. Our commercial experience and legal expertise means data protection isn’t siloed, but used to enhance your commercial and employment practices. Data is the new oil and we’ll help you leverage it to meet your business goals.
We offer three tiers of support as your outsourced DPO to meet the needs and complexities of your business operations. Tier 1 is our most comprehensive and involved support package, scaling down through Tiers 2 and 3 to a lighter touch for smaller businesses with less complex needs.
Across all tiers, your dedicated representative from Harper James will register with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) as your DPO. Your dedicated contact will work closely with your team to ensure your obligations are being met and a suitable privacy framework is put in place. In addition, you’ll have access to our team of expert data protection lawyers for day-to-day support.

Who do we help?
The requirement for a DPO is mandated in law (Article 37 UK GPDR) where the core activities of a business consist of:
While most businesses don’t require a DPO by law, one may still be appointed to ensure data privacy best practice is followed. Our clients span a wide range of industry sectors, and we successfully guide them all through the complex responsibilities of data protection.
We understand the challenges and commercial issues businesses face first hand; many of our team have worked in-house fulfilling roles such as sole legal counsel and group compliance officer.
