Who We Are

Evalian® is a data protection and security services provider. We specialise in data protection compliance, GDPR services, information security, penetration testing and ISO certification consultancy.

We work with organisations of all sizes, working directly and through partners. Our offices are in Southampton, London, Dublin and Worcester with consultants across the UK. We are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, Cyber Essentials + and CREST approved for SOC, penetration testing and vulnerability assessment services.

 

Our Approach

We believe that good data protection and information security is a competitive advantage as well as a compliance obligation. Having a relationship of trust with your customers, partners and your wider supply chain is more important than ever.

At the same time, there isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ approach to privacy and security. Good data protection and information security need to be risk led and your approach to both should be aligned with your business strategy.

For these reasons, we start every engagement by learning as much about your organisation as we can. We’ll ask about your size, structure, management systems, working practices, culture, strategy and specific objectives from our engagement.

We pride ourselves on being transparent and taking a real-world approach to meeting your needs. We promise open communication, relationships built on respect, honesty and a strong work ethic with no hard sell.

This particular review is for Neil and Joe, who have been incredibly supportive and patient. Evalian were recommended to us by our lawyer as we were looking for support regarding GDPR policies and processes. Nothing seems too taxing for Neil, despite probably asking him numerous silly questions. I am unsure how he does it, but Neil seems to make dealing with GDPR processes less onerous and more fun. With a brilliant sense of humous and fantastic communication skills, which we as a company value very highly, Evalian comes very highly recommended. Kudos also to Joe, who helped us find the right person at Evalian to work with. Thanks Evalian!

Evalian have provided Alchemab Therapeutics with a 5 star service during a recent project we collaborated with them on. We have been running a project to update all of our GDPR policies and processes to ensure we remain compliant. Neil our contact at Evalian was on hand 24/7 providing speedy and accurate responses. Often turning around work within the same day if not the same week. The teams dedication to understand the scope of the project, provide their recommendations and expertise was outstanding. I look forward to continuing to work with Evalian and their team. It has made GDPR a whole lot easier to handle and we have now rolled this out in house with simplicity and ease thanks to Neil and his team. Thankyou and I hope we will continue to work together for many more years!

I worked with Evalian on a gap analysis project for my organisation. The process was seamless, well communicated and collaborative. Working with John and Neil was a pleasure, they spent time with me to explain the process in detail, understand my needs and organisation and alleviate any concerns along the way. I now have a comprehensive report with clear actions I can drive forward. Would 100% recommend!

Evalian recently supported us with implementation of ISO 27001 and ISO 27701. Our consultants - Jamie, Daniel and Ray - shared a vast amount of experience and knowledge, and gave us a lot of suggestions, understanding very well the peculiarities of our organization and processes. Weekly calls were very useful to keep the project on track. The 2 auditors assigned for the ISO 27001 assessment were very happy with the quality of our documentation, partially due to Evalian. We will highly recommend company and team; we're immensely grateful for their support.

We were very happy with Evalian who helped us to achieve ISO 27001:2022 certification. They had the best pricing out of the consultants who responded to our enquiry. I believe they also provided us with the best service possible. I would highly recommend Evalian if you want to certify to the ISO 27001 standard.
