Purpose and Means

Founding Training Partner

Europe

Purpose and Means are not like the other data protection consultancies.

We do things differently.

The data protection experience for employees and management is what we focus on.

We build passion and interest in data protection through highly visual, quirky approaches.

Data protection is complex, and to bring it alive, make it actionable from top to bottom requires an approach your average law firm doesn’t provide.

– UK global manufacturer 2022-

Purpose and Means is a niche consultancy operating globally working with leaders to align data protection tightly with business purpose and strategy.

We are also an Official IAPP Training Partner providing privacy training services worldwide.

Our quest is to ensure data protection is not a tick-box or superficial task in companies.

We typically work with legal departments, bringing skills and competences that many legal professionals lack.

We help overcome the perception that data protection is solely a legal issue.

The legal bias can block the potential in some companies to frame data protection as a business imperative.

Data protection is not all about articles, recitals, interpretation, case law, etc.

All of those things are very important, without a doubt.

But if data protection in your company remains theoretical, and there continues to be a disconnect between data protection leadership and the other business functions, data protection will never become living and breathing.

We are seeking to fill two unpaid positions as members of the IOPD Board of Directors. Terms run for 2 years from appointment. Appointments may be renewed.
