Reduce GDPR complexity, and cut the cost of compliance

    As a leader, you are legally "accountable", i.e. you must be able to "demonstrate compliance with the six Privacy Principles".

    Could you do that now? No worries - APIMS will do it for you.

    APIMS gives you visibility...

    APIMS maps to your management structure and operations, automatically generating a 'Record of Processing Activities', giving you full visibility of all the Personal Information you hold and the answers to all those questions.

    and control of your data...

    APIMS generates a series of Reports, each one identifying Risks and legal requirements  with suggested Actions to prioritise. Assign Owners to Risks and track progress on the Dashboard and Risk Register.

    so you can demonstrate compliance

    While the APIMS Dashboard provides you and your managers with visibility and control, APIMS automatically keeps detailed records of all actions and decisions taken, so you can "demonstrate compliance" at any time.

    Built by data privacy experts

      Large organisations spend years and £millions implementing "Privacy Programmes" using consultants and expensive software.

      We know, because we've spent decades in the industry building privacy frameworks for multinational organisations.

      As a smaller business, school or charity, you have the same legal obligations and risks – but not the resources.

      We've developed APIMS to meet your needs.

      “CPOMS has been using APIMS for a couple of years. APIMS really came into its own when we had a consensual ICO audit. We were able to show the ICO our Accountability Framework, our ROPAs and our Risk Register with up-to-date information on risk ratings and control status displayed on the dashboard. The auditors said they were ‘really impressed’ with our processes, as well as our training module – also produced by APIMS.”

      Our Team

      Simon Hall
      Founder, MD

      GDPR compliance is a problem for all organisations but it's a bigger problem for small ones like schools and SMEs and there simply are not enough affordable easy-to-use solutions – so Simon built APIMS.

      Why Simon? Because he was uniquely positioned and qualified to do it.

      As the UK’s first Data Privacy Officer (IBM 2007-11) and co-founder of KPMG’s Privacy Advisory practice, he was building GDPR-Readiness Programmes for global giants like AstraZeneca & Walmart years before GDPR came into force, and he has been doing similar work with SMEs ever since - including CPOMS, the world-leading provider of safeguarding software to over 20,000 schools in the UK alone.

      He understands this type of software better than anyone, having led the roll-out of the world’s first Privacy Management Software at IBM in 2008, being engaged by leading brands including OneTrust to improve their products, and having built bespoke Privacy software for Asda and a subsidiary of L&G.

      And, as a barrister, his understanding of the complexity around GDPR's legal and regulatory requirements has enabled him to translate them into practical actions.

      So he has drawn on almost two decades of experience, in both DPO and consulting roles, at global corporate level and with schools and SMEs to develop a radically new type of software that delivers the quality that global corporations demand for prices schools and SMEs can afford.
