Privacy governance built to show regulators your work.

Who needs this? Any organisation that processes personal data belonging to EU or UK residents is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation. GDPR is not limited to European businesses. If you offer goods or services to EU residents, or monitor EU residents' behaviour online, the regulation applies and you must comply with GDPR requirements regardless of where your company is incorporated. HIPAA applies to US-based covered entities and their business associates that create, receive, maintain, or transmit electronic protected health information. If you are in healthcare technology, telehealth, SaaS serving hospitals, or any adjacent sector, your data protection obligations are layered.

Our services cover the non-technical side of privacy. We define what is required, verify that the technical controls are in place with your team, and document the remediation plan for any compliance gaps. Technical measures such as encryption, access controls, and data-loss prevention tooling are implemented by your team. We do not deploy or operate controls inside your environment. This is governance, documentation, and advisory work.

Data mapping is where compliance work begins. You cannot protect data you have not inventoried. We map your data flows, understand where data is stored and who can access it, and build the Article 30 records of processing activities that GDPR requires every controller and processor to maintain. Data collection practices, data minimization obligations, and special categories of data all get reviewed as part of this process. The result is a factual picture of your processing activities that both your team and a regulator can rely on.

Privacy policies are one output of the mapping work, not a starting point. A published privacy notice backed by nothing is not a defensible compliance position. We author your privacy policies and internal data protection policies to reflect how you actually process personal data. We stand up your data subject access requests process, your breach notification procedure, and your DPIA framework. These are the governance structures that sit behind every technical measure and that regulators expect to see when they ask how you protect personal data.

A data breach can expose gaps in your governance as quickly as it exposes gaps in your technical controls. When it does, regulators look at whether you conducted a data protection impact assessment before beginning the high-risk processing, whether you have a working breach response process, and whether you have a named DPO notified to your supervisory authority. We build and verify all of that. Where you are required to appoint a Data Protection Officer, or where it is simply good practice for your risk profile, we provide a named, qualified DPO on a retained basis, delivered remotely.

Our approach to data governance puts you in a position where you can demonstrate compliance, not just claim it. The goal is a documented program that holds up to scrutiny: audit-ready records, working procedures for data subject requests, and clear remediation plans for any gaps we identify. If you are not sure where to start, a data protection assessment is the right first step. It tells you where you stand, which compliance gaps carry the most risk, and what your remediation roadmap should look like.
