What Trust Keith does

Trust Keith is a UK-headquartered (London) privacy management company founded in 2019 that delivers privacy-as-a-service to data-centric scale-ups and SMBs. Its core offering combines the "Privacy OS" platform — an intelligent system of record providing automated data discovery, global risk and control management, intelligent workflows for DSARs/assessments/incidents, expert-tailored policies, staff training, and continuous monitoring and reporting — with a Dedicated DPO service that embeds a named human privacy expert into each customer account for ongoing oversight and 24/7 breach support. The hybrid tech-plus-human model targets organizations that lack internal privacy staff but face the same regulatory burden (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA, EU AI Act, PDPA, PIPL, LGPD, and others) as larger enterprises.

The company operates a sales-led GTM motion with expert consultation as the primary conversion point, supplemented by a content-marketing engine (resources hub, YouTube, newsletter, Monthly Office Hours, Privacy Notice Grader tool) that feeds top-of-funnel demand. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, structured around subscription contracts tailored to customer size, complexity, and required regulatory coverage. Named customers span FinTech (Codat), Consumer Goods (Ocean Bottle), Insurance (Thortful), Education (BBC Maestro, Learnerbly), AI/Search (Perplexity), Healthcare (Lantum, Capsule), Travel (Alternative Airlines), Logistics (FareShare), and AI/Coaching (Heights), with reported outcomes including 28 hours saved per due diligence deal, up to 30% cyber insurance premium reductions via the Audit Score, and a 92% user recommendation rate.

Trust Keith is registered as Trust Keith Ltd in England and Wales (company number 12283797). No funding rounds, institutional investors, or M&A activity are disclosed, suggesting a bootstrapped or founder-financed operating model. The management team includes Tom Gell (Head of Delivery) and Mitchell Omer (Head of Revenue). The company claims global coverage across the UK, EU, APAC, North America, and the Middle East, with an explicit focus on the underserved SMB-and-scale-up segment of the privacy compliance market.
