We’re privacy experts but our strength is really in communication. We strive to understand our clients’ business and needs to ensure we deliver what they really want. What you won’t get is an “off the shelf” product with your agency’s name filling the gaps.

We’d definitely recommend them for knowledgeable advice presented in a clear & concise way.

  • Generative AI, its potential benefits, and the risks it poses to growing companies is fraught with pitfalls and missteps. Frith provided directed and focused presentations to our risk managers and senior leadership as well as developing a sensible and practical policy that is well suited to our company’s culture. Frith’s involvement has provided the guidance necessary for us to move forward with confidence.

  • We started working with Simply Privacy when ChatGPT first became widely accessible. Frith helped us navigate the need to be open to new ways of working, alongside the need to safeguard our data and the privacy of the people we work with. Frith has developed guidelines for the use of generative AI in our workplace, updating them to reflect the evolving landscape while keeping data security, confidentiality and privacy front and centre.
