The DPO Centre and Axiom GRC: Shaping the Future of Data Protection and AI Governance

As the governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) landscape evolves, data protection has become one of the defining challenges, and opportunities, for organisations worldwide. With increasing regulation, the rise of AI governance, and growing global scrutiny over data ethics, businesses need partners who can combine deep technical expertise with a pragmatic understanding of compliance in the real world.

That’s why The DPO Centre, now part of Axiom GRC, is a pivotal player in our mission to reshape the future of governance, risk, and compliance.

With one of the largest teams of experienced Data Protection Officers (DPOs) in the UK and EU, The DPO Centre helps organisations navigate complex regulatory frameworks including UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and the Data (Use and Access) Act. Their consultants deliver flexible, scalable solutions, including, outsourced DPO support, interim privacy management, AI governance, and data protection training.
