“We’re delighted to welcome Sameer to SoloProtect, he will be working closely with our clients to help them understand their responsibilities when it comes to lone worker data. As a company we’ve always taken data protection seriously and with new European regulations imminent, we felt that appointing a directly employed and dedicated Data Protection Officer was a must.
Data and its regulation is a complex subject and SoloProtect customers will really benefit from the introduction of our dedicated Data Protection Officer as Sameer will speak and work directly with fellow DPO’s in our customers’ organisations.
We’re dedicated to improving the services we offer, and I hope this gives our customers further confidence that their data is safe with us.”
