Our Customers Feedback

Cyber Essentials and IASME Governance Certification

We applied for Cyber Essentials and IASME certification to ensure we have systems and processes in place to prevent us against cyber threats and to ensure that we are GDPR compliant. The process of assessment was thorough and it made us more aware of our responsibilities in this area.

The best decision we made in this regard was to engage the Guardian Saints team who in view are experts in this area.

GDPR Gap Analysis

Guardian Saints provided an excellent service for us at St George’s Hospital Charity. They have demonstrated comprehensive and expert knowledge of GDPR Regulations 2016 and the DPA 2018.
We were very impressed with their approach, their professionalism, and their willingness to deliver the maximum value with our (small) budget for this piece of work.

Data Protection Officer - DPO Services

Guardian Saints input has provided us with confidence when dealing with breaches, both our own and those of third parties.
From that strong foundation we have been able to tackle Data Breaches by local authorities and attain very successful outcomes on behalf of our aggrieved families.
Quick to respond, accurate and always going the extra mile to ensure compliance and understanding I cannot recommend Guardian Saints DPO service highly enough.

Online Safety Carers Training

Guardian Saints Online Safety training is a must for all Foster Carers and parents alike. The trainers really know their stuff and can help people at whatever level of knowledge they have to learn about the benefits and risks that the internet poses to children and young people. In my view, the training has had a beneficial effect for all of the children in our fostering families, in that it has educated and equipped our Foster Carers to feel confident in encouraging what is part of their everyday lives, but to help them to do it safely.

Data Protection and GDPR Staff Training

I was surprised that training on data protection could be delivered in way that was interesting and engaging. It's an easy topic to poke fun at - Guardian Saints did a great job at overcoming preconceptions of 'this is going to be boring' and I came away feeling the session was very worthwhile - and relevant to my role. I was impressed!
