Anyone used Satswana for GDPR/DPO?

[Andycat]

Our Principal is thinking of going to Satswana for GDPR advice/DPO. She says that Business/Heads seem quite impressed, but there's no mention of them on here.

 

Has anyone else looked at them?

Would say it looks interesting but:

 

dpo.uk.com

is not currently accessible because it is categorized as security.malware.

I don't know what to think. Apparently the BM's forums seem overwhelmingly positive about them but I'm unsure!!

We're also looking at Satswana. I think that we've got a meeting with them soon to discuss, so I'll try and remember to update this thread with my experience.

It's been a while, but now we are the other side, has anyone any further comment on them? e.g. if you've signed up, did you feel costs were competitive?

I hate to beat a dead horse, but as per @djrscally comments how can anyone trust a company that allegedly specialises in security and data protection, that then has a contact us page asking for name, email address and mobile over http, and a registration page and login page asking for a username and password over http. They've got a public page offering advise on encryption, but don't even follow the most basic of security practises.

[Ditto]

I absolutely agree and in the scenario I'm dealing with, I have raised this matter, but rather than dealing with a dead horse, I'm dealing with one that unfortunately bolted before I got to the gate.
