The company is also celebrating staff member Pippa Scotcher's nomination in the Rising Star category for her "exceptional contributions to the field."
"I'm thrilled to be shortlisted - it's an absolute privilege to be recognised among such talented professionals," she said.
What they're saying: Rob Masson, CEO at The DPO Centre, said: "It's an honour to be shortlisted for not one, but two categories at this year's ICA Compliance Awards. This recognition reflects our dedication to excellence in compliance and our commitment to nurturing outstanding talent in the industry."
He added: "The LFR project with Reveal Media is a testament to our ability to provide unparalleled support in an evolving privacy landscape, and Pippa's nomination reaffirms the strength of our amazing #ONETEAM."
What's next: The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony at the Park Plaza Westminster, London, on June 26, 2025.
The bottom line: The nominations recognise the firms' technical innovation and talent, reinforcing the company's position in the evolving data protection and privacy compliance space.
