Testimonials

IFS, DPC & GDPR

We were introduced to Shamrock Information Security during the development of the AVTN.TV Television News Project. As the projected demands on our systems; need to protect the company from Cyber Attacks; and ensure corporate practices were GDPR compliant increased, Shamrock became invaluable in advising us on the necessary structures and requirements. Their work is most evident within the relevant pages of the AVTN.TV Investment Proposal. I highly recommend their services, and wouldn’t hesitate to commission them in the future.

Phillip Covell, CEO, AVTN.TV

Great advice on all things to do with privacy and information security

I’ve worked with a lot of privacy and InfoSec professionals over the past couple of decades but few of them had minds as sharp and knowledgeable as those at Shamrock. For insightful and focussed advice on security/privacy matters, Shamrock is hard to beat!

Training Feedback

Very knowledgeable trainer nice venue plenty of interaction possible.
If you are looking for an IAPP trainer I can commend this course to you.

Raymond Ford
GDPR Institute

CIPP/E training

I have a lot of experience this field, but there are always areas you are stronger and weaker on. Shamrock covered the exam content thoroughly, such that I was able to focus on the areas that would benefit from some revision.

I would recommend Shamrock training courses for beginners and experts alike.
