What JVR Consultancy offers, and what it publishes
You get an outsourced data protection officer from a firm whose main trade is sector accreditations. The service covers advice on UK GDPR duties, monitoring compliance, acting as a contact point for regulators, handling people's requests for their data, breach guidance, policies and staff training. The firm says it offers a free gap analysis before quoting a fixed fee.
JVR Consultancy does not publish a price. Its pricing page shows quote buttons only, though the firm says its fees are fixed, with 'no hidden charges'. It does not name its consultants or their qualifications. It does not say whether it holds professional indemnity insurance, or how it uses AI.
JVR Consultancy's named testimonials, from Bouygues UK, Wolseley and Robert Hurst Group, relate to accreditation work; it publishes no named data protection case study. The firm claims a '100% success rate' for accreditation audits. Its About page says it was founded in 2008; Companies House shows it was set up in June 2011. Its footer says it holds Cyber Essentials.

| Criterion | Score | Evidence |

| Help when things go wrong | DPO service page lists 'breach response guidance' and acting as a regulator contact point only as bullet points; no dedicated incident/ICO-engagement service, no named practitioners and no outcomes published (jvrconsultancy.com DPO page, checked 2026-07-16). | |
| Qualifications of the people who do the work | No named staff and no individual privacy qualifications anywhere on pages checked; only a '135 years of collective expertise' claim, with no CIPP/IAPP mentions found in site-restricted search (jvrconsultancy.com/about-us, checked 2026-07-16). | |
