Data Privacy Officer
Data-privacy exposure tends to be invisible right up until a regulator inquiry, a customer complaint, or a breach forces a company to explain what data it holds and why. This service builds the actual privacy infrastructure: a full data map showing what personal data you collect and where it flows, Data Protection Impact Assessments for higher-risk processing, a working consent-management system, and a breach-response plan you can execute under pressure rather than improvise. It's for companies operating under GDPR, CCPA, or similar regimes that need to move from a privacy policy on a website to a program that would survive an actual audit. You get documented compliance and a plan you can execute at 2 a.m. if something goes wrong.
This is a capability we deliver for you as a service, not a role we’re hiring for.
How We’d Approach This
A clear, staged plan, not a black box
These are the service-specific steps inside our six-step process.
- 1
Map all personal-data flows across your systems and vendors to find undocumented or high-risk processing.
- 2
Run a DPIA on the highest-risk data flow as a pilot to test the assessment methodology against your systems.
- 3
Review findings with legal and leadership and prioritize remediation before building the full program.
- 4
Stand up consent management and a rehearsed breach-response plan your team can actually execute.
