A 24/7 DPO service provides continuous access to Data Protection Officer expertise, oversight, and incident response — ensuring GDPR compliance is maintained at all times, not just during business hours.
For UK and multinational scale-ups operating across time zones, handling sensitive customer data, or running always-on digital platforms, privacy risk doesn’t pause at 5pm.
The real question is not:
“Can someone answer the phone at 2am?”
The real question is:
“Is privacy being actively managed, monitored, documented and defensibly governed at all times?”
That distinction matters.
Organisations typically look for 24/7 DPO support after experiencing one of the following:
For FinTech, HealthTech, EdTech, HRTech and AI-driven businesses, the risk profile is elevated. Data flows constantly, automation runs continuously and customers expect immediate responses.
Compliance can’t be “office hours only.”
When businesses search for a “24/7 DPO service”, they’re often comparing three flawed options:
1. In-House DPO
Privacy becomes dependent on one individual, but privacy is a system — not a person.
2. Consultancy-Based DPO
You get advice, not a managed privacy engine.
3. Software-Only Compliance Tools
Software alone can’t act as a DPO.
If a service claims to offer 24/7 DPO support, it should deliver:
Continuous Governance
Incident Readiness
Always-On Expertise
Systemised Compliance
Without infrastructure, “24/7” is just a marketing phrase.
Many providers interpret 24/7 as “You can email us anytime.”
That's not continuous compliance. Regulators expect:
Under UK GDPR Article 37–39, a DPO must:
This is an operational responsibility — not an on-call helpline.
For multinational scale-ups, the solution should combine:
This is where most models fail. They provide either:
But rarely both.
Trust Keith runs privacy as a system — not as a part-time advisory function.

Compliance shouldn’t be project-based.
Trust Keith:
This ensures readiness at any moment — not just when something goes wrong.
3. 24/7 Escalation and Incident Support
When an incident occurs outside working hours:
This is structured incident readiness — not improvised response.
4. Board-Level Reporting and Assurance
Scale-ups raising investment or entering enterprise contracts require:
Trust Keith provides reporting suitable for boards, investors and regulators.
High-risk, data-centric organisations benefit most. These include:
If your product never sleeps, your privacy oversight can’t either.
