01ProvePrivacy profile
What ProvePrivacy provides
ProvePrivacy (Leeds / Bradford, United Kingdom; PROVEPRIVACY LTD, incorporated 2018, founded by Mark Roebuck) positions itself as data protection compliance software for lean teams, built around UK data protection legislation and a network of staff 'Data Champions' who own their team's data while the DPO keeps central oversight.
Pricing signal reviewed on 30 June 2026: ProvePrivacy publishes a single fixed-cost model - 'enterprise-grade protection starting at just GBP 8,000', described as one fixed cost with unlimited users and access to all modules - rather than a multi-tier plan list. Buyers should verify current scope, the exact fixed price for their organisation size, implementation, the optional DPO-as-a-Service consultancy and contract terms directly with ProvePrivacy.

07Ireland & UK
ProvePrivacy vs Acompli for RoPA in Ireland and the UK
ProvePrivacy is built around UK data protection legislation, so for an Irish or cross-border team the deciding question is whether one register can carry both EU and UK GDPR and the depth of the Article 30 record. Records of processing are required under GDPR Article 30 - a controller record under Article 30(1) and a processor record under Article 30(2); the Irish DPC and the UK ICO each publish Article 30 documentation guidance.
For both ProvePrivacy and Acompli, buyers should ask to see entity-scoped exports, reviewer history, source evidence and how EU GDPR and UK GDPR records are separated in practice.
- EU GDPR Article 30(1) and Article 30(2) controller and processor records.
- UK GDPR Article 30 documentation and ICO guidance fit.
- Irish DPC accountability expectations and exportable evidence for each legal entity.
08Shortlisting notes
When ProvePrivacy belongs on the shortlist
ProvePrivacy should remain on the shortlist when its published market lane, product strengths and buyer fit match the requirement.
Acompli should be evaluated only where its own workflow coverage matches the requirement; this page is intended to show overlap and gaps, not to force a universal replacement narrative.
- Shortlist ProvePrivacy when a fixed-cost, unlimited-user UK platform with Data Champions, breach handling and built-in training matches the programme you want to run.
- Shortlist Acompli when the main problem is keeping evidence, assessments, RoPA, suppliers, DSARs and risk decisions connected and defensible after approval.
- Ask each supplier to demonstrate the same workflow using current product screens, exports, review history and implementation assumptions.

Acompli answers
Acompli as a ProvePrivacy alternative
Who are ProvePrivacy's competitors?
ProvePrivacy's competitors in privacy and data protection management include PrivacyEngine, OneTrust, TrustArc and Osano, alongside other compliance platforms. Acompli competes as a focused, privacy-native alternative for Ireland, UK and EU teams that want connected, evidence-traceable RoPA, DPIA, DSAR, risk, vendor and AI-governance records with human approval, rather than a UK-first compliance suite built around staff Data Champions.
Is Acompli a good ProvePrivacy alternative?
Acompli is a strong ProvePrivacy alternative when the priority is a defensible, assessment-fed record that distinguishes EU and UK GDPR rather than a single-organisation UK compliance platform. RoPA, DPIA, DSAR, risk and vendor records are connected, confidence-scored, human-approved and exportable per legal entity for the DPC or ICO. ProvePrivacy remains the better fit if you specifically need breach/incident management, a training module or its fixed-cost, unlimited-user model.
Does Acompli replace ProvePrivacy?
Acompli can replace ProvePrivacy for the core privacy-operations workflows - RoPA, DPIA, DSAR, privacy risk, vendor records, data mapping and EU AI Act governance - for many teams. It does not replace ProvePrivacy's breach/incident module or its built-in training / e-learning component; teams that rely on those keep them alongside Acompli.
How do ProvePrivacy and Acompli differ?
ProvePrivacy is a UK-built data protection compliance platform sold as one fixed cost with unlimited users, organised around staff Data Champions, breach handling, training and ISO 27001 / CAF control evidence. Acompli is narrower and deeper on governed records: assessment-fed Article 30 records that distinguish EU and UK GDPR, data mapping, AI-Act governance and code-scan evidence, each traceable to its source, human-approved and exportable per legal entity.
Does ProvePrivacy publish pricing, and does Acompli?
ProvePrivacy publishes a price anchor - enterprise-grade protection from GBP 8,000 as one fixed cost with unlimited users and access to all modules - rather than a full multi-tier plan list. Acompli prices on scope (legal entities, jurisdictions, users and integrations) and provides pricing on request rather than a public list price, because the effort scales with the programme rather than the number of logins.
What is the best ProvePrivacy alternative for Irish and UK privacy teams?
The best ProvePrivacy alternative for Irish and UK privacy teams is one built around GDPR Article 30 coverage, DPC and ICO fit, and a self-contained per-entity export. Acompli is built around exactly those - both Article 30(1) and 30(2) records, EU and UK GDPR distinguished on one register, and an export the DPC or ICO can read without a platform login - the provenance wedge a UK-first compliance platform does not foreground.
Does ProvePrivacy have an EU AI Act or AI governance module?
ProvePrivacy publishes knowledge-zone articles that touch on artificial intelligence and governance as topics, but its platform does not foreground a governed AI-system register or an EU AI Act risk-classification assessment workflow. Acompli's AI governance module supports EU AI Act risk classification, assessment-driven AI system records, and human approval of each AI system entry, with the record traceable to its evidence source. Teams that need a governed, auditable AI-system register rather than reference articles will find Acompli the closer fit for Article 6 and Annex III risk-classification work.
What is the Data Champion model and does Acompli work the same way?
ProvePrivacy's Data Champion model turns staff in operational teams into named owners of their team's data, so the DPO gains a holistic view while frontline colleagues maintain their part of the record - a genuine strength for spreading compliance work in lean teams. Acompli also distributes data-gathering, but its emphasis is provenance and approval: contributors draft and assess, then a human approves each record before it becomes part of the defensible Article 30 register, with every value traceable back to its source evidence.
Does ProvePrivacy handle data breaches and DSARs?
Yes. ProvePrivacy's incident management module handles suspected data breaches (notifying the DPO, standing up an investigation team and generating a supervisory-authority breach report), data subject rights requests such as DSARs and the right to be forgotten with UK exemptions, and information requests such as Freedom of Information. Acompli covers DSAR and privacy-rights workflows but does not include a breach/incident management module, so teams that need packaged breach handling should keep that capability in mind.
Is ProvePrivacy suitable for multi-entity corporate groups?
ProvePrivacy is built primarily around a single UK organisation and its Data Champions, sold as one fixed cost with unlimited users. For multi-entity corporate groups, holding companies, or organisations with distinct controller/processor records per subsidiary that each answer a different supervisory authority, Acompli's multi-entity model - with a self-contained per-entity export for each authority and EU/UK GDPR distinguished on one register - may be a better structural fit.
