Meet our Founder, Derek Mann RISC, MSyI (Dip)
Derek’s successful 30-year career in the UK Police Service spanned high-risk operational environments to strategic business change programs. His tenure culminated in a Chief Superintendent rank, and in 2010, he retired after leading a national change program at the National Policing Improvement Agency. Derek then transitioned into the private sector, embarking on a career as a management consultant in the Police, Justice, and Security sectors, with a strong focus on business transformation. His journey extended to working internationally in conflict-affected regions, accumulating invaluable insights into security challenges
As a Registered Independent Security Consultant holding a professional diploma in security management, Derek brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to CaPS, specialising in data protection, anti-money laundering, and public safety
When it comes to data protection, I believe in the ethical use of personal data, not the monetised exploitation for commercial benefit at the expense of the individual. I view implementation of data protection practices as a business change programme rather than a compliance one, moving to a cultural shift from a tick box exercise. This is where the cost of data protection becomes an investment not a necessary evil and a hit on the bottom line
Ethical Use of Personal Data
Regulatory compliance is merely the starting point for organisations. Our mission at CaPS is to help you transcend compliance and become a force for good through the ethical use of personal data.
We don’t just assist you in complying with data protection legislation; we instil a culture where shared values prevail. In a world where ethics matter, you’ll enhance trust and bolster your brand by exemplifying honesty, transparency, and openness in managing and utilising the information you gather.
At CaPS, we’re not just consultants; we’re your partners in trust, compliance, and ethical excellence. Join us in shaping a future where businesses thrive through unwavering integrity and enduring trust.
Voices That Matter – What Our Valued Clients Have to Say
COO of the International Association of Bookkeepers
“Running an International membership organisation in the financial sector presents a wide range of challenges. Derek and his team at CaPS have provided an invaluable resource especially in relation to the provision of Anti-Money Laundering Supervision. In recent times the IAB has been spear heading change in this area with the development of a comprehensive AML Inspection regime. The positive impact being made can be strongly attributed to the expertise CaPS have provided in re-organising the back office functions while also providing a scalable outsourced compliance inspection system which can absorb our plans for growth”.
Compliance & Data Analyst of Triangle Housing Association
CaPS Privacy Ltd has been, and continues to be, an invaluable service to myself and my organisation. Derek at CaPS is very professional and so knowledgeable that he puts clients new to GDPR and Data Protection at ease.

He explains everything in user friendly language and is always accessible for support when you need him. Would highly recommend
Director of the SME Advisor Ltd
Thank you for keeping us and our customers safe & compliant! We have used your services for ourselves and introduced you to our customers to ensure that protocol is followed when processing and controlling data. In each instance your knowledge within this complex area has shone through resulting in a positive outcome. As HR and Health & Safety consultants we recognise the importance of complying with the law and that outsourcing to a specialist is a very wise decision. Using your services has meant that the job is complete, and it has been done in a time efficient and cost-effective manner. We look forward to continuing our relationship with you and I highly commend you to business owners and managers who want to remain data compliant and do so without undue stress or cost
I had a fantastic experience with Derek at CaPS who has recently helped with a data protection agreement and data breach procedure, as well as privacy policy and cookie consent for my website.
From the outset Derek was communicative, extremely attentive when listening to what I required, thorough when preparing my documents and managed to deliver in a short time frame
Derek also included the chance for me to complete a UK GDPR awareness course, which has proved invaluable in increasing my knowledge of this vast subject and has impressed my clients, as they can see I am taking protection of their data very seriously.
Due to Derek's excellent service I now have peace of mind that I am fully UK GDPR compliant, which is a huge weight off my shoulders.
We wanted to take a moment to thank you for the online training for our team. We have recently put our 2 new recruits through the CaPS Ltd GDPR awareness course online. The course has given our team a clear and insightful look at how to consider and manage our client’s data and privacy. The feedback from the team is that the course was clear and easy to understand, more importantly, it gave them an accurate sense of how important the topic is to the fundamentals of our business. Thank you!
