Global data protection professionals
Our services

We are Hope & May. As leading data protection professionals, we ensure that every organisation we work with – whatever their sector, whatever their size, wherever they are in the world, and whatever their needs – are fully compliant with data protection law.

Every organisation, regardless of size or location, is legally obliged to ensure the security and protection of the personal data they process that may identify individuals. The data-protection world is an ever-changing landscape which can leave staff and organisation unsure of the lawful basis for processing personal data.

We are passionate about delivering the best service available, and as data protection professionals, we pride ourselves on the trust and relationships we have built with hundreds of clients. Our data protection services offer a solution for every size and type of organisation.

Testimonials

Hope & May act as the Bikeability Trust DPO and have helped us with our policies, queries and amends to a rather complex DPIA statement. We consider Mark to be an extension of our staff team, as he is always on hand to give excellent and professional advice. Recently Mark kindly presented a data protection workshop at our annual industry conference. Mark was engaging and demonstrated how knowledgeable he is within the Q&A session. Thank you for your continued support and expertise which is greatly valued.
Michelle Turnbull, Director of OperationsThe Bikeability Trust
We have been using Hope & May for the last four years and would be more than happy to offer the strongest endorsement for their services. Mark is very agile to our needs and demands and has always delivered. As a research and evaluation agency we deal in some highly sensitive data collection sets and the integrity of our processes and systems is paramount. Mark has always delivered. Aside from that, Mark has routinely delivered training sessions to our staff - he does so with professionalism, and indeed a touch of humour to get the points made. I have no qualms about strongly recommending Hope & May.
Brian Warren, COODartington Service Design Lab
"The GDPR support provided by Mark and the team at Hope and May has been exceptional. The experience and ongoing guidance provided to Keylu has enabled us to move the business forward with confidence ensuring we remain compliant whilst at the same time keeping the interests of our users at the forefront of what we do."
Sarah Wilkinson, COOKeylu
I had never attended such a well structured and insightful training before. The content was rich, relevant and extremely useful. You did an amazing job at sharing your expertise, including your knowledge around the current and possible future political scenario, especially considering the complexity of this topic. I'm gonna bring back what I have learned to my charity, and hopefully raise our standards around data protection and GDPR. I couldn't be more grateful.
Research & Impact Manager Oxfordshire Youth
