Reduce GDPR complexity, and cut the cost of compliance

    As a leader, APIMS ensures you can demonstrate compliance within the six Privacy Principles.

    By giving you the 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 GDPR Compliance Report with Actions and Risk Ratings to prioritise. Review the Report, assign Owners and Due Dates, track progress on the Dashboard, and monitor risk reduction in the Risk Register.

    to ensure 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 and there simply are not enough solutions for small organisations – 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) and co-founder of KPMG’s Privacy Advisory practice, he started building GDPR-Readiness Programmes for global giants like AstraZeneca & Walmart seven years before GDPR, and he has been doing similar work with SMEs and start-ups ever since.

      He understands this type of software better than anyone because he was responsible for rolling out the world’s first Privacy Management Software  at IBM in 2008; he was engaged by global market leader OneTrust and other Privacy software vendors to help improve their products; and he built bespoke Privacy software for Asda and a subsidiary of L&G before founding APIMS. And, as a barrister, he really understands the complexity around GDPR's legal and regulatory requirements and directors' accountability, and he knows how to translate them into practical actions plans.

      So he has drawn on almost two decades of experience at global corporate level and at SME/start-up level to develop APIMS because smaller organisations, like SMEs, GP practices, schools and charities simply can't afford the types of software that global corporations rely on to keep them compliant and their data secure.
