Questions people ask
before switching
How much does Trust Keith cost?
Plans start from £499/month, with one fixed monthly fee rather than an hourly rate. Your price depends on your size and risk profile, and the free privacy audit helps shape it.
We're comparing Trust Keith and The DPO Centre. How do we decide?
With Trust Keith, you don't only get a dedicated expert embedded in your team. You also get access to our platform, giving you full oversight of your data protection and one place to manage it all. If you'd like to see the difference for yourself, we'd be more than happy to run through a demo with you.
We already have an outsourced DPO. What would Trust Keith add?
You'd still get a dedicated expert, who can act as your DPO or support whoever currently manages data protection internally, taking more off their plate. Plus access to the Trust Keith platform, where your policies, processes and records are tracked live in one place, with audit-ready reports at the click of a button.
We're already with The DPO Centre. How does switching work?
Switching is really straightforward, and the Trust Keith team will make the transition as easy as possible for you. If you'd like to talk it through first, book a quick call with the team.
Can Trust Keith take over as our DPO?
Yes. Your dedicated expert can be appointed as your registered Data Protection Officer as part of your setup, so there's no gap in cover.
Does Trust Keith cover more than UK GDPR?
Yes. Trust Keith helps businesses comply with global privacy regulations as well as the UK GDPR. Trust Keith can also support you with information security compliance and ISO 27001 certification.
Is there a minimum term?
Trust Keith contracts usually run for 12 months, because privacy is ongoing rather than a one-off project. If you need something different, raise it on your call and the team will talk it through with you.
