FAQ
Common questions
Short answers about DPO plans, Portal access, TruCredits and pricing.
How is DPO Service pricing calculated?▾
DPO Service is priced per pupil, per year. The calculator gives an indicative estimate and final pricing is confirmed in the Quote or Price Book.
What’s the difference between Advisory and Comprehensive?▾
Both include the Portal. In Advisory, your team usually runs the day-to-day workflow with our support and oversight. In Comprehensive, we take a more active operational role with you.
Do MATs get a discount?▾
Yes. Multi-academy trusts receive a discount based on the number of schools: 2–9 schools = 10%, 10–19 = 20%, and 20+ = 30%. A further 5% applies on a 3-year commitment billed annually.
What are TruCredits and how do I use them?▾
TruCredits are prepaid credits you can use for high-effort, one-off work such as evidence processing, redaction, exports and policy packs. Credits are deducted per task or unit.
Do TruCredits roll over?▾
Purchased TruCredits roll over until used. Included monthly TruCredits, where part of a plan allowance, reset monthly and do not roll over.
How much is Portal standalone?▾
Portal standalone is £495 per school / year.
What is the difference between Advisory and Comprehensive?▾
Advisory means the school manages the day-to-day data protection workflow, with Tru Data Protection providing advice, review and assurance. Comprehensive means Tru Data Protection manages the workflow with the school, using school-provided raw data, context and access, so the school is not left carrying the day-to-day administrative burden.
