Data privacy consulting services

Understanding the data your business owns and processes is key to ensuring its security. Data breaches are more likely to occur where there’s a lack of knowledge about how information is handled within your business.

Data Privacy consultancy is a great way to ensure you’re taking the right action to keep your staff and customer data safe.

The service

About our data privacy consulting

Data privacy is essential, and we believe it to be a vital aspect of any business in the modern landscape. The policies, standards and guidance documents are critical, but true data privacy risk management is action-based.

Poor data privacy risk management results from undefined risk and control ownership, weak limits and a lack of planning. Optimising IT can fill this gap. We deliver clarity, structure and a position of “regulator-readiness” through our approach.

  • Programmatic — We define a practical privacy program with a target operating model and performance indicators to correct misaligned privacy risk ownership.
  • Risk-based — We are focused on risk controls that best suit your needs and business goals.
  • Integrated — We get well accustomed to our client’s business model, processes, systems or products and integrate specific privacy controls.
