ISO/IEC 17024 Aligned

Build Capacity for Data Sovereignty

Enable your institution to deliver internationally-recognized DPO certification. Build permanent local capacity, not dependency.

The Capacity Challenge

Data protection laws are spreading globally. But qualified DPOs remain scarce—and countries shouldn't have to import expertise for a permanent compliance need.

Laws Without Officers

Over 150 countries have data protection laws. Most lack enough qualified professionals to implement them effectively.

Extractive Consulting

Traditional models send consultants in, extract fees, and leave no permanent capability. Countries deserve better.

Training Infrastructure Exists

Government training institutions already develop civil servants. They need the curriculum and certification framework.

Partnership Model

We Enable, Not Compete
