We are a Data Protection Consultancy company
with offices in Dublin and County Wicklow.

We are your trusted partner for compliance in the education sector.

XpertDPO was formed to provide market leading Data Protection advisory and consultancy supports to its clients. We had the opportunity to work with some schools on their GDPR compliance and were struck by the need for a product that was tailored for the education sector whilst being cost effective. Thus, GDPR4School was born! The GDPR applies to all schools but at the same time budgets are being stretched. Our product is, we believe, the first of its kind for the education sector.

GDPR4School is a totally digital product that combines Policy documentation with innovatave video instruction tutorials and info guides with new content being added constantly.
