Using DataGuard as DPO

Overall our experience with Data Guard has been satisfactory. Our consultant's help, advice and support is brilliant and we enjoy working with him. He has a lot of knowledge and is keen to ensure we are compliant as a business and help in any way he can. He is very responsive too. There needs to be some clarity around how many consultant hours are being used – e.g if documents are sent to consultant to review and provide feedback, we should also be informed on how much time this has taken so we can track our consulting hours and ensure we do not go over. There have been some issues with getting the contract sorted out for year 2. We had many questions which took some time to respond which then meant the process to getting the contract sorted was quite prolonged.

Pros:

The portal itself works well and provides us with adequate information. It’s user friendly and easy to navigate. We were impressed with the online training facility but early on we had an issue with the content of the training which gor remedied after feedback.

Cons:

Integration with our current business processes was challenging as the standardisation needed to be customised to fit our processes. Portal occasionally default to German. Documents are not editable – all in PDF which can be frustrating We are unable to update tasks I have worked on or completed and some aspects of the documentation can only be updated by DataGuard Some general DP and GDPR questions could be added to help aid our understanding, speed up responses and take the pressure of consultant. Portal could have functionlity to contact Data Guards helpdesk for technical help instead of currently having to email.

Vendor Response

Hi Jane, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such detailed feedback for us. We have taken steps to rectify any language issues and trust that these are now resolved for you. We also do have an area where you can request technical help instead of emailing - reach out to your Customer Success Manager and they can give you a quick demo. Your suggestions for documents and how things could have improved your experience are really helpful. We are constantly taking on customer feedback to make updates to our platform and processes. We'll send your suggestions to our product and professional services teams. Best, The DataGuard Team

Elevate Education - Dataguard Review

We initially used DataGuard as we need to up our game for a series of government tenders in the UK. However, we now use them as our designated DPO. Overall, the experience has been great and we feel safe knowing Dataguard are helping us with data privacy as we grow.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The initial audit was extremely thorough and clearly highlighted risks to be addressed. These risks were easily turned into actions and distributed to the team. The monthly support calls have been important to keep us on track and it helps that our monthly call contact is the same expert that conducted the audit so knows our business. He is also very quick to respond to any queries. Finally, while our main focus initially was GDPR compliance for our UK business, the features have easily transferred across borders to our other businesses in Australia, the US and South Africa.

Cons:

The service is quite a financial investment for a SME business but necessary - especially as work with schools and students. While the software and human support are great, it still requires a large time commitment from your team to obtain value.

Vendor Response

Hi Adam, Thank you so much for leaving this review! We are delighted to see that your team has seen value from our platform features both in the UK and further afield :) Please keep the feedback coming and don't hesitate to reach out anytime so that we can further enhance your experience.

The customer service experience is very good. Whenever I have a question I can quickly get a hold of my consultant and they are very responsive. They are also very responsive to business needs. For example, when having time-critical questionnaires to fill out they were very quick to help and complete them within the time frame. Friendly staff and service.

Pros:

We are currently part-way through the audit process with DataGuard and so far have found the platform efficient, structured and straightforward. The combination of expertise/consultancy on Privacy/Security topics with a process-oriented approach to implementation is looking to be a streamlined way to level-up our organisation in these matters.

Cons:

The localisation can be a little unreliable, and I generally have to switch back to English after each login. It would be great to integrate with other PrivacyOps tools or develop these capabilities directly into the platform.
