About Aegis
Aegis DPO was not designed in a vacuum. It was built from years of real DPO engagements across Caribbean organisations — from the frustration of doing serious compliance work with tools that were never designed for it, and from a region that has been underserved by the global privacy software market for too long.
Every module in Aegis started as a manual process I was running for clients. Data flow maps in Word. Breach logs in spreadsheets. DSR deadlines tracked in calendars. At some point I stopped asking why no purpose-built tool existed for the Caribbean — and started building one.

Why Aegis Exists
The global data protection software market is built for GDPR. Every product, every template, every framework assumes a European context — European regulators, European enforcement timescales, European legal culture. Caribbean organisations are expected to adapt tools designed for a different jurisdiction and hope for the best.
That's not good enough. The Barbados Data Protection Act 2019 has its own structure, its own deadlines, its own enforcement mechanisms, and its own sector-specific overlays — from the FSC's 4-hour major incident rule to the 30-day DSR deadline triggered from identity verification, not receipt. These are not GDPR rules. Generic tools get them wrong.
Aegis is the first platform built specifically for this regulatory environment. Every rule, every deadline, every gap analysis flag, every document template is grounded in Caribbean law — not adapted from somewhere else.
DPMAS — Data Privacy & Management Advisory Services — is a Barbados-based data protection consultancy providing DPO retainer services, compliance programme development, training, and cybersecurity advisory to clients across financial services, government, healthcare, and SMBs in the Caribbean.
Founded by Steven, DPMAS was built on the conviction that Caribbean organisations deserve the same quality of structured data protection advice that larger markets take for granted — delivered by practitioners who understand the local regulatory environment, not consultants applying a foreign template.
Aegis DPO is the product of that experience — the platform we wished existed when we started, now made available to every organisation that needs it.
We're inviting a select group of Caribbean DPO professionals and organisations to join us at launch. Early access participants shape the product, help validate the platform, and get priority access as we grow.
