"The PIA assessment was well developed, relevant and used appropriate methodology and was delivered in a flexible, fast way. Toby got to grips with the complexities of this major national project very quickly - engaged with senior stakeholders and delivered a high quality output without drama and in a cost effective value for money manner."

- Detective Superintendent, City of London Police

The Enterprise Privacy Group is a leading consultancy and think-tank focussed upon the issues arising from the management of personal information. Our expertise covers:

• Privacy: As one of the UK's leading voices in the privacy and data protection arena, EPG provides a focal point for the development of Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) and Data Protection Audits, and the resolution of conflicting viewpoints between those organisations that control personal information and the individual stakeholders about whom information is processed. 
• Identity: We have a strong track record in the development and implementation of identity and authentication policy, and have worked with the UK government, European Commission, and private companies to facilitate debate, develop innovative policy solutions, and raise awareness of the implications of population-scale identity schemes.
• Information Assurance and Security: With expertise in information security across public and private sectors, we can deliver risk assessments, bid/procurement support, security awareness and training and general security support. Our team is cleared up to SC level for government information assurance work.

EPG's team regularly works in sensitive and high-profile roles to support clients and nurture public awareness about privacy and identity issues. Our clients benefit from services that include:

• Consultancy: Working closely with clients, normally from their premises, to deliver cost-effective subject matter expertise when and where it is required. Unburdened by the overheads associated with major consulting companies, we deliver that expertise within tight budgets and timescales, and never fail to delight our clients.
• Sales Support: We have considerable skills in preparing and delivering sales support on behalf of our clients, particularly when bidding for major public sector contracts. Working either as partner bidders, or as 'behind the scenes' subject matter experts, we are accustomed to preparing high-quality bid materials at short notice and to a quality that consistently impresses buyers.
• Thought Leadership: EPG develops policy recommendations for government, private sector clients and independent think tanks including the likes of the Information Commissioner's Office and the European Commission.
• Training and Awareness: We have developed and delivered tailored awareness and training for client organisations that need to improve staff performance in privacy and security, to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and to change long-established behaviours as part of a broader business re-engineering programme.

EPG is possibly best-known for its work in delivering high-value workshops and conference events. With the current economic focus on value for money, these activities will continue, but we are pleased to respond to our clients' needs for highly targetted subject matter expertise that is characteristic of our flexibility in everything we do.
