Independent. Experienced. Regulated.
Cavendish Trust Company Limited was established in 2007, built on the founding team's decades of Isle of Man expertise.
Full-service capability
We provide the complete range of DAF services from a single firm: Registered Agent, CSP, Data Enforcer, and deep regime expertise. One relationship, every stage.
Genuinely independent
We work comfortably alongside any existing professional relationships. Our independence means every engagement is shaped entirely by your interests, with no competing mandates.
Regime expertise
We have followed the development of the DAF regime from its earliest consultation stages and built our tooling and methodology to reflect the most current published framework.
Built on the regime. Ready from day one.
"Cavendish has been engaged with the DAF regime's development from its earliest consultation stages, taking part throughout as the framework has progressed."
"Established in 2007 and active across trust, corporate, fintech, space and satellite, and blockchain sectors, Cavendish brings genuine breadth to every data governance engagement."
"The Foundations (Amendment) Act 2026, which received Royal Assent in May 2026, creates the world's first statutory framework recognising data as a formally registered legal asset."
DCAM V3 Certified Training
Isle of Man
An in-person DCAM V3 certified training session in the Isle of Man. Two days of structured, instructor-led training covering the complete DCAM V3 framework, delivered by our EDMA Certified Trainer and designed for data and governance professionals working in, or preparing to engage with, the DAF regime.
Participants who pass the EDM Association's certification exam receive DCAM V3 Certification, a globally recognised digital credential.

Cavendish's pre-qualification assessment turned our business problems in general terms, cross-border data friction across our group's legal entities, into a real design of how we could use the Data Asset Foundation concept to unlock potential in our data assets across geographies as the legal framework comes to life in Isle of Man.
