“We reached out to Howard Elsey to provide comprehensive GDPR education and training for all staff in a new Fintech business developing a multi-million pound software and financial services proposition. We knew that Howard's long knowledge and experience of the Fintech space combined with his specialism in information security and data protection, would make him the perfect advisor for this crucial compliance matter. Howard spent a day with our team and provided very clear, well thought out training on GDPR, always explaining carefully and making it relevant to both our strategy, our business and the areas of interest of each member of our team who attended (and everyone did - MD down!). Howard interspersed his GDPR programme with some fun activities which ensured the engagement of all involved, but also served a serious purpose to help make data protection issues more real, even to those of us who felt well briefed on this subject. We left the day much better equipped to build a platform and a business with complete consideration for our GDPR obligations, and his training has served us well in the months since.”
