What AARC-360 offers, and what it publishes
AARC-360 offers GDPR gap analysis, policy writing, data protection impact assessments through a software tool, and risk assessment. The site says a Certified Data Protection Officer guides the policy work and that its people hold ISO 27001, BS 10012 and ISO 27701 certifications. It sells US HIPAA and CCPA work, and ISO and SOC audits, from the same firm.
AARC-360 does not publish a price. Every enquiry goes to a contact form. It does not name the consultants who would do the GDPR work, or their qualifications. It does not publish indemnity cover or liability terms. Its GDPR page does not mention a UK regulator or any breach work.
We found no UK company for AARC-360 at Companies House, and its site lists only a US address. A UK organisation appointing a data protection officer should ask which company would carry that duty under UK GDPR. The firm sells both readiness work and SOC and ISO audits, and publishes no policy keeping the two apart.
Strengths
- Offers a broad compliance service line (GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, ISO 27001/27701/42001, SOC reporting) under one firm
- Staff are stated to hold ISO 27001, BS 10012 and ISO 27701 certifications
Things to check
- No UK company registration, UK office, or UK regulatory registration was found, despite the firm marketing GDPR compliance services
- No pricing information of any kind is published
- No named individual privacy consultants or their specific credentials are published
Common questions
Is AARC-360 a UK company?
Not that we found. A Companies House search for AARC-360 returned no match, and its only published address is in Alpharetta, Georgia, USA.
Does AARC-360 publish its GDPR fees?
No. Its GDPR and contact pages send enquiries to a contact form, with no rates or fee ranges.
Who would do the GDPR work?
It does not say. The site refers to 'highly qualified resources' certified in ISO 27001, BS 10012 and ISO 27701, but names no privacy consultant.
Does the missing UK company matter?
It can. A DPO appointed by a UK organisation carries duties under UK GDPR, so ask AARC-360 which company would be accountable for the work before you engage.
