Trust Keith

Trust Keith Ltd is a company dedicated to simplifying data protection and compliance for founders and operators, particularly within the tech scale-up sector. Founded in October 2019 by Rory Codrington, the company aims to transform the perception of data compliance from a 'boring' and 'unsexy' subject into an accessible and enabling aspect of business. [1, 2] Trust Keith provides a combination of expert human support and technology to help businesses navigate the complexities of global data regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. [6, 16] Their services are designed to save companies time and energy, reduce the ambiguity surrounding data protection, and ensure that compliance efforts do not overtly hinder business-as-usual operations. [1, 10]

The company offers a subscription-style service which includes a dedicated data protection team backed by software. [4, 16] This approach provides businesses with a single data protection hub that acts as a knowledge base for all their data protection needs, overseen by a dedicated 'Keith' expert who offers support and tailored data compliance training. [6, 23] Trust Keith's offerings include helping companies understand their data risks, govern their data protection programmes, manage breaches and incidents, and train their staff. [16, 17] By doing so, they assist clients in avoiding potential fines associated with data breaches, achieving world-class accreditations like ISO27001, and successfully passing due diligence for investment rounds and enterprise deals. [6, 16] The company emphasizes building an exceptional company with exceptional results and people, focusing on customer retention, value, and revenue growth. [1, 2] Trust Keith prides itself on its values: being brave, diligent, empathetic, having a growth mindset, and being quirky. [1, 3] They are a remote-first company with a focus on UK-based scale-ups but also serve international clients, including some in the US. [3, 4, 6]
