Clear payment terms

Know what you are paying for

  1. Review the quotation

    Compare the scope, deliverables, exclusions, professional fee and any stated taxes.

  2. Agree the invoice schedule

    Both parties sign the agreement. Each invoice follows its agreed date or delivery trigger.

  3. Pay an issued invoice

    Review the amount before checkout. A verified payment is recorded with a receipt; provider bank settlement is tracked separately.

  4. Keep the record together

    Messages, delivered work and payment records stay connected to the engagement. Statutory filing fees are identified separately where applicable.

The statutory NDPC fee is separate and is paid by you to the Commission, not to them and not through us. It never passes through Asiri, so there is nothing for us to hold, release, or take a cut of.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE EXPERTISE

Meet Gerlong

An individual data protection officer can support your organisation’s privacy work. Independent audit opinions and annual filings require a licensed DPCO.

Before you appoint

Understand the scope before you appoint

  • Annual filing and independent audit opinions are provided through a licensed DPCO on Asiri. Discuss these separately from DPO support.
  • Agree the officer’s responsibilities, availability and any potential conflicts before appointment.

The next step is a conversation

A good working relationship starts here.

Discuss your needs, availability and fees with Gerlong Russell Yilchir before agreeing to work.
