About Dan Matthews, Director


Dan graduated in 1994 & started his career at IBM UK which granted a solid grounding in IT before moving into consultancy & project management in 1999.  The proliferation of the internet in the early 2000's coincided with dramatic world events to push information security into focus as an increasingly crucial discipline in the face of growing threats.


Dan specialises in the protection of data & has now over 20 years experience providing cyber security, IA & risk management consultancy solutions, establishing AssuredIS in 2010 with a selected team of qualified IA / security architects delivering consultancy services for Central Government, Policing sector & corporate clients.


From 2018, as GDPR was adopted into UK Legislation as part of the UK Data Protection Act (2018), Dan became a qualified practitioner in data protection & privacy. Now a qualified CIPP/E (Certified Information Privacy Professional / Europe) & GDPR Practitioner, he provides advisory consultancy & 'DPO as a Service' (DPOaaS) to organisations across the UK:


  • Data Protection, Privacy & EU / UK GDPR advisory consultancy to private & public sector clients;
  • GDPR compliance reviews & gap analysis reports;
  • Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA);
  • Data Processing Agreements (DPA) & Data Sharing Agreements (DSA) for sharing of personal data;
  • 'Privacy by Design' reviews of proposed system designs & planned processing, for compliance with GDPR & legal obligations;
  • 'Lawful Basis for Processing' assessments;
  • Article 30 'Record of Processing' document management;
  • 3rd Party / Data Processor Reviews - to verify supply chain compliance with GDPR;
  • International Data Transfer reviews & relevant documentation (IDTAs, SCCs & Model Clauses);
  • 'DPO as a Service' to UK organisations who are mandated under UK GDPR to appoint a DPO & see the budgetary advantage in outsourcing the role on a part-time basis, rather than employing a full-time qualified DPO.
