Steve John is a Associate at Data Protection People. Colleagues describe them as "Steve came into our business to assist us with two key priorities - our re-certification of our ISO27001 and our implementation of GDPR. He was fundamental in the business in achieving both - via his pragmatic and proportionate highly technical advice, his personable influencing and his future looking approach. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Steve and was extremely grateful for his sage advice and support. I would not hesitate in working with him again and am pleased to recommend him to others." and "If you require the services of an independent, professional and experienced expert in Information Security Management System implementation and Data Privacy Framework implementation as a result if GDPR, then I cannot recommend Steve highly enough, I engaged with Steve initially for ISO 27001:2013 implementation and then latterly to assist implementing a framework for GDPR compliance. e.surv Chartered Surveyors are certified to ISO 27001:2013 as a result of Steve's understanding of the standard and determination to succeed. In addition, out GDPR framework has been built with Steve's assistance. Something Steve has a deep understanding of. I cannot speak highly enough of the way Steve engages people; and engages with people in teams within businesses regarding subjects which non IS/DP professionals often find "dry". I can speak and evidence first hand of how Steve has assisted e.surv Chartered Surveyors not only gain and maintain certification to ISO 27001:2013, but how he has engaged our workforce in understanding how important data privacy and security is in the workplace and at home! I fully endorse Steve's professional, qualified and friendly approach to anyone. Shane Ross Head of Risk & Audit e.surv Chartered Surveyors. "
