Trust center
Trusted with your data, and your reputation.
Engage Compliance is an expert-led, EU-established privacy consultancy providing outsourced and fractional DPO services. This is how we keep client data secure and hold our work to the standard your customers, investors, and regulators expect.
Experience across 100+ startups and enterprises including Amazon, Coinbase, Robinhood, and Fanatics.
Expert-led and team-delivered, with a named partner network for specialist work. No junior hand-offs.
Security and data protection
How we protect your data.
We apply layered technical and organizational measures, the kind GDPR Article 32 expects, so client data stays confidential, available, and under your control.
Technical measures
Encryption in transit and at rest
Personal data is encrypted in transit over TLS and at rest, including in backups.
Multi-factor authentication
MFA is enforced on the accounts and systems used to deliver our services.
Least-privilege access
Need-to-know access controls, so client data is reachable only by the people and systems that require it.
Encrypted backups
Backups are encrypted, so data stays protected at rest even in backup form.
Secure development practices
Changes go through version control and review, and application secrets are held in managed secret stores, never committed to source code.
EU data residency
Personal data is stored in the EU. Cross-border transfers are rare and, where they occur, are covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses.
Organizational measures
Regular access reviews
Access rights are reviewed on a regular basis and revoked promptly when they are no longer needed.
Vendor and sub-processor due diligence
We assess sub-processors before onboarding and bind them by data processing agreements, with Standard Contractual Clauses where required.
Incident response and breach notification
A documented incident response and breach notification process, with 24/7 breach support for DPO clients.
Data minimization and retention limits
We collect only what is needed, store it in the EU/UK and the US, with adequate transfer safeguards in place, and return or delete client data at the end of our relationship.
Confidentiality and NDA obligations
All personnel are bound by confidentiality and NDA obligations, and we never disclose client identities without written permission.
Consent where the law asks for it, never sold
In the EU, the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, analytics and ads load only after you accept them. Elsewhere they load by default and switch off with Global Privacy Control. We do not sell or share your personal information.
Credentials and expertise
Expertise you can verify.
Engage is expert-led and team-delivered. Every engagement is led by a named practitioner and backed by a named partner network, never handed to junior staff.
