## About (full)
I am Mohammad Movahedi—CIPP/C, Data Protection & Security Specialist at The Globe and Mail, and an advisor on privacy programs, AI governance, and operational excellence. My work lives where personal data, security operations, and new AI systems collide — which is exactly where most privacy problems start.

The journey started in industrial engineering: optimizing systems of people, machines, and materials with measurement and continuous improvement. A Master of Science in Data Analytics (Machine Learning) from Northeastern University sharpened how I think about models, data quality, and evidence—skills that now inform both privacy analytics and AI risk conversations.

At TELUS, I worked as a Data Governance Analyst managing enterprise privacy and risk platforms (OneTrust), automating Privacy Impact Assessments and Secure by Design reviews, and training 450+ stakeholders on governance processes. That role taught me that privacy programs fail in the handoffs—not in the policy PDF.

At The Globe and Mail, I lead privacy and security work in a media environment where audience trust is the product. That includes monitoring and investigating alerts across modern security stacks, breach response with legal and business partners, consent and cookie compliance, master data inventory, vendor completeness, and PIAs—under real production pressure.

Today I combine that operator experience with Six Sigma Black Belt discipline and a clear point of view on AI: shadow systems and agentic tools will not wait for perfect regulation. Controls for usage and application security need to ship alongside innovation. Whether you need a fractional privacy lead, a focused program build, or an AI governance framework the board can understand—I bring calm execution and workable controls.

Credentials: Credentials include CIPP/C (IAPP), Six Sigma Black Belt, OneTrust Fellow & GRA, cybersecurity professional development, and an M.S. in Data Analytics with a machine learning focus.

Location: Based in Toronto, Canada. Open to remote and hybrid engagements across Canada, the United States, and Europe.

### Philosophy
- **Privacy as an enabler, not a blocker** — Well-designed privacy programs unlock product velocity by making risk decisions faster and clearer—not by saying no more often.

- **AI needs governance to scale responsibly** — Shadow AI and agentic systems will not wait for perfect regulation. Controls for usage and application security must ship alongside innovation.

- **Process excellence unlocks sustainable compliance** — Six Sigma and Lean turn one-off privacy heroics into measurable, repeatable operations that survive org change.

- **Media orgs are bellwethers for data ethics** — Publishing lives at the intersection of public trust, personal data, and AI-assisted newsroom tools—lessons that transfer to any data-rich enterprise.

## Services (full detail)
### Privacy & Data Governance (`/services/privacy-data-governance/`)
Build privacy programs that scale with your business.

Program building, policy development, vendor assessments, DPIAs/PIAs, platform optimization, and compliance with PIPEDA, Law 25, GDPR readiness, and emerging Canadian laws.

**Problems I solve:**
- Fragmented privacy ownership across product, legal, and security
- Manual PIAs that delay launches
- Vendor risk backlog with incomplete SOC 2 reviews
- Consent and cookie programs that fail audits

**How I work:**
1. Discovery: map data flows, systems, and accountability gaps
2. Assessment: maturity baseline against PIPEDA, Law 25, and industry norms
3. Roadmap: prioritized controls, policies, and platform work
4. Implementation: PIA automation, vendor workflows, training

**Deliverables:**
- Privacy program roadmap
- PIA/DPIA templates and playbooks
- Vendor assessment workflow
- Policy pack (privacy, retention, breach)
- Stakeholder training sessions

**FAQs:**
Q: How long does a Law 25 gap assessment take?
A: A typical Law 25 gap assessment for a mid-sized organization may run 3–4 weeks: mapping data flows and current controls, testing them against the law's requirements, then delivering a prioritized remediation roadmap. Larger or multi-brand environments can take longer. You'll know the timeline before we start — I confirm scope, timing, and commercial terms in the proposal after a short discovery call.

Q: Do you work with US companies handling Quebec data?
A: Yes. If your products or marketing target Quebec residents, Law 25 likely applies to you regardless of where you're incorporated. I help US teams understand which obligations follow the data — consent, privacy impact assessments, and breach notification — and build controls that satisfy both Quebec and US state privacy laws without duplicating work.

Q: Can you train our internal team, not just deliver documents?
A: Absolutely — training is a first-class deliverable for me. I typically include working sessions so your people can run the PIA process, vendor reviews, and consent program after I leave. I've trained 450+ stakeholders, and my goal is always that the program survives without me, not that you need me forever.

Q: Do you work with Canadian privacy law specifically?
A: Yes. My CIPP/C credential is Canada-specific, and I work hands-on with PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25, and practical GDPR-readiness patterns for Canadian organizations with cross-border data flows. I keep my guidance operational — what to actually do, in what order — rather than reciting statutes.

Q: Can you help with OneTrust, Ketch, or similar platforms?
A: Yes. I design the program first, then optimize the platform to match it — PIA automation, vendor workflows, consent and cookie programs, and training so the tool reflects how your teams actually work. I've run OneTrust at enterprise scale and Ketch in a media environment, so I know where these platforms help and where they get in the way.

Q: Is this a substitute for legal counsel?
A: No. I provide governance, operational, and risk guidance — the machinery that makes compliance real day to day. For legal opinions or litigation positions, you need qualified counsel for your circumstances, and I'll tell you plainly when a question belongs with a lawyer.

Q: How do engagements typically start?
A: With a short discovery call where we scope your data flows, accountability gaps, and urgency. From there I propose either a fixed-scope assessment or a roadmap-plus-implementation package — you'll see the full plan and price before committing to anything.


### AI Governance, Ethics & Explainability (`/services/ai-governance-solutions/`)
Govern AI so innovation does not outrun trust.

AI risk frameworks, explainability, bias auditing, Copilot/privacy evaluations, responsible AI policies, and B2B tooling for privacy ops.

**Problems I solve:**
- Shadow AI and unapproved model usage
- No inventory of high-risk AI systems
- Product teams shipping without privacy review
- Board pressure without a clear AI control model

**How I work:**
1. Inventory AI use cases and data dependencies
2. Risk-tier models and agents by impact
3. Define usage control + application security pillars
4. Embed reviews into product and security workflows

**Deliverables:**
- AI risk assessment framework
- Acceptable use + model governance policy
- XAI evaluation guidance
- Shadow AI discovery plan
- Executive briefing deck

**FAQs:**
Q: We're already using Copilot — is it too late to govern it?
A: Not at all — most of my AI governance work starts exactly there. I inventory what's actually deployed, assess the privacy and data exposure of each use case, and put proportionate controls around it. You don't rip out tools people rely on; you make their use defensible.

Q: Will this slow our product teams down?
A: My goal is faster, clearer risk decisions — not blanket refusals. I build lightweight review gates and pre-approved patterns so teams know what's green-lit before they build. The slowdown teams fear usually comes from late-stage surprises, which governance prevents.

Q: How do you evaluate AI vendors for privacy risk?
A: I look at what data the model actually touches, where training and inference happen, what the vendor retains, and what their sub-processor chain looks like. Then I map that against your obligations under Law 25, PIPEDA, or GDPR. You get a plain-language risk rating and the specific contract terms worth pushing back on.

Q: What does an AI risk framework include?
A: A use-case inventory, risk-tiering by impact, data dependency mapping, an acceptable-use and model governance policy, and review gates embedded in your product and security workflows. I tailor it to how your teams already ship software so it gets used instead of filed away.

Q: Do you cover generative AI and Copilot-style tools?
A: Yes — that's the bulk of what teams ask about. My evaluations focus on privacy impact, shadow AI exposure, usage controls, and application-security considerations, so innovation doesn't outrun trust.

Q: How is this different from pure privacy consulting?
A: AI governance adds model and agent inventory, explainability guidance, bias and usage controls, and a dual focus on usage control plus application security — alongside the classic privacy reviews. The risk surface is genuinely different, so the control set has to be.

Q: What does a first engagement look like?
A: Usually a 2–3 week AI use-case inventory and risk-tiering sprint. You get a map of what's deployed, what's shadow, and what needs controls first — plus a board-ready summary. From there we can build the full framework or hand your team a roadmap to run with.


### Process Excellence & Six Sigma (`/services/process-excellence-six-sigma/`)
Apply Black Belt rigor to privacy and compliance ops.

Streamline privacy operations, cut waste in data handling, and apply Lean Six Sigma rigor to security and privacy workflows.

**Problems I solve:**
- Privacy ops bottlenecks and rework
- Inconsistent control quality across business units
- Manual handoffs between legal, security, and product
- No metrics for program health

**How I work:**
1. Define critical privacy/security processes
2. Measure cycle time, defects, and handoff waste
3. Analyze root causes with DMAIC
4. Improve and control with SOPs and dashboards

**Deliverables:**
- Process maps and RACI
- DMAIC project charter and results
- KPI dashboard design
- Standard operating procedures
- Continuous improvement backlog

**FAQs:**
Q: How long until we see results?
A: Quick wins often land in the first few weeks — I target the most painful bottleneck first so the team feels relief early. A full DMAIC cycle on a core privacy workflow can run several weeks to a few months depending on complexity. I measure everything, so you'll see cycle-time and defect numbers move, not just hear that things 'feel better.'

Q: Will this add bureaucracy to our privacy team?
A: The opposite — that's the whole point. I remove steps, handoffs, and rework rather than adding them. Every control I recommend has to earn its place by reducing risk or cycle time. If a process can't justify its own existence in the data, we cut it.

Q: Do our people need Six Sigma training first?
A: No. I apply the Black Belt methods for you — DMAIC, process maps, RACIs, control plans — translated into language your privacy and security teams already use. Your team learns the useful parts by doing, without sitting through belt certification they'll never use.

Q: What processes are good candidates?
A: PIA intake and completion, vendor risk reviews, breach documentation handoffs, consent change management — any privacy or security workflow with rework, delays, or inconsistent quality. If people complain about it weekly, it's a candidate.

Q: What metrics do you typically establish?
A: Cycle time, first-pass yield, backlog age, handoff defects, and program-health KPIs that feed a simple dashboard leadership can review monthly. I keep it to the handful of numbers that actually drive decisions.

Q: Is this only for large enterprises?
A: No — mid-market teams often gain the most. With fewer people, waste hurts more, and lightweight SOPs free up capacity fast. I scale the rigor to your size; a 20-person company doesn't need the same apparatus as a bank.

Q: How do you handle resistance from the team?
A: By making their jobs easier first. I start with the pain points the team itself names, involve the people who do the work in redesigning it, and never impose a process from a slide deck. When the new way is visibly less painful, adoption takes care of itself.


### Custom B2B AI & Data Solutions (`/services/custom-ai-b2b-tools/`)
Privacy-preserving AI for GRC and data operations.

I advise on and prototype AI tools for GRC teams — privacy-preserving analytics, automation, and data classification — from pilot to production.

**Problems I solve:**
- Manual GRC work that does not scale
- No path from AI pilot to production controls
- Data classification still spreadsheet-driven
- Need for privacy-preserving analytics patterns

**How I work:**
1. Scope high-ROI automation opportunities
2. Design with privacy-by-design and least privilege
3. Prototype with clear evaluation criteria
4. Handoff playbook for engineering ownership

**Deliverables:**
- Solution brief and architecture sketch
- Prototype or PoC guidance
- Data protection impact notes
- Production readiness checklist

**FAQs:**
Q: Who owns the IP of what you prototype?
A: You do. Everything I build or specify in an engagement — prototypes, architecture sketches, evaluation criteria — is yours, documented for handoff from day one. I structure it so your engineering team can own and extend the system without depending on me.

Q: Can you work directly with our engineering team?
A: Yes, when teams want that. I can embed with your engineers during prototyping — joining standups, reviewing approaches, and transferring the privacy-by-design reasoning behind each decision. The handoff works because it was collaborative, not a document thrown over a wall.

Q: How do you keep prototypes privacy-safe?
A: Data minimization, least-privilege access, and clear boundaries between demo data and production paths are defined before prototyping advances. I also write data protection impact notes as we go, so the prototype arrives with its risk thinking attached — not as an afterthought.

Q: Do you build full production products?
A: My focus is advise-and-prototype: architecture sketches, privacy-preserving patterns, evaluation criteria, and production-readiness checklists, with handoff so your engineering team owns the system. If you need a full product team, I'll tell you honestly and help you scope what to look for.

Q: What kinds of tools are in scope?
A: Intelligent automation for GRC workflows, privacy-ops assistants, data classification helpers, and analytics patterns designed with least privilege and privacy-by-design. If your use case touches personal data, I'll flag it early and design around it.

Q: Can this pair with AI governance work?
A: Often yes — governance defines which use cases are allowed, and tooling work then automates the approved workflows safely. Doing them together means the controls and the automation are designed as one system.

Q: What does a prototype engagement cost?
A: It depends on scope. I work in defined stages: a solution brief and architecture sketch first, then prototype sprints with evaluation criteria. You approve each stage before the next begins, so there are no open-ended burn surprises — commercial terms are confirmed in the proposal.


### Data-Responsible Branding & Media Strategy (`/services/branding-media-strategy/`)
Build brand trust through transparent data practices.

Responsible data use in marketing and branding, privacy-by-design in CDPs, content strategy informed by analytics and ethics—leveraging hands-on media experience at The Globe and Mail.

**Problems I solve:**
- Marketing stacks outpacing privacy review
- Trust erosion from opaque personalization
- Media/publishing data ethics pressure
- Consent fatigue and poor preference UX

**How I work:**
1. Map marketing data flows and processors
2. Align brand promise with actual data practices
3. Design preference and consent experiences
4. Publish transparent, audience-ready narratives

**Deliverables:**
- Data ethics playbook for brand/marketing
- CDP privacy-by-design recommendations
- Consent/preference UX guidance
- Thought leadership content framework

**FAQs:**
Q: How do you measure whether trust is improving?
A: I tie it to things you can actually observe: consent opt-in rates, preference-center engagement, complaint and deletion-request volumes, and brand trust survey deltas. Vanity metrics don't count — we agree on the baseline and the target before any work starts.

Q: Do you run ad campaigns or create brand assets?
A: No — I'm not a creative agency. My work is the data-responsible strategy underneath the brand: data flows, consent and preference experiences, ethics playbooks, and narratives that match your actual practices. I make sure what marketing promises is what the company does.

Q: Why does media experience matter for our brand?
A: Media organizations live at the intersection of public trust, personal data, and AI-assisted tools — under constant scrutiny. The operational lessons from The Globe and Mail about handling audience data responsibly transfer directly to any data-rich brand facing trust pressure.

Q: Who is this service for?
A: Marketing, brand, media, and publishing teams whose personalization stacks, CDPs, or content strategies need privacy-by-design and public-trust alignment. If your data practices couldn't survive a front-page story, we should talk.

Q: Is this creative branding work?
A: The primary focus is data-responsible strategy — flows, consent and preferences, ethics playbooks, and narratives that match practice — not pure creative agency services. I partner well with your creative team; I don't replace them.

Q: Can you support thought leadership content?
A: Yes. I build content frameworks for trustworthy messaging on privacy and AI topics, grounded in what your organization actually does. Audiences can smell the difference between real practice and borrowed talking points.

Q: How does this connect to compliance work?
A: Trust is what compliance looks like from the outside. I make sure your public posture — privacy notices, preference centers, marketing claims — is consistent with your actual controls. That alignment is both a compliance safeguard and a brand asset.


### Fractional & Advisory Roles (`/services/fractional-advisory/`)
Senior privacy and AI governance leadership on demand.

Fractional privacy officer / advisor support for mid-market and growth companies needing executive-level guidance without a full-time hire.

**Problems I solve:**
- No in-house privacy lead but rising board risk
- Need for interim leadership during transformation
- Program stuck after policy drafts only
- Speaking / board briefing support required

**How I work:**
1. Scoped retainer with clear outcomes
2. Office hours + priority escalation path
3. Roadmap ownership with internal champions
4. Knowledge transfer so capability sticks

**Deliverables:**
- Monthly program scorecard
- Board/exec briefings
- Priority decision memos
- Team coaching and office hours

**FAQs:**
Q: How many hours per month does a fractional engagement need?
A: Most of my fractional clients land between 20 and 40 hours a month, scoped around outcomes rather than hours. We agree on what gets delivered each month — scorecards, briefings, decision memos — and I flex within that. If the scope grows, we renegotiate openly instead of quietly burning hours.

Q: Can you present to our board?
A: Yes — board and executive briefings are a core part of the retainer. I translate program status and risk into the language boards actually decide in: exposure, cost, and timeline. No 40-slide decks; a clear picture and a recommendation.

Q: How quickly can support start?
A: After a discovery call and a basic conflict check, I can usually get started quickly with a 30–60–90 day priority plan. The first month focuses on stabilizing whatever is on fire and mapping the program; strategy follows once I understand your reality.

Q: What does a typical retainer include?
A: Scoped monthly outcomes, office hours, a priority escalation path, a program scorecard, and decision memos — plus coaching so your internal owners keep the capability. You always know what you're getting each month.

Q: Is this only for privacy officer roles?
A: No. Scopes often cover privacy leadership, AI governance advisory, board briefings, and interim program leadership during transformation. We define the mandate around your gap, not a job title.

Q: What is out of scope?
A: Day-to-day ticket grinding without decision rights, pure legal opinions, and engagements that would require full-time on-site staffing. If what you need is really a full-time hire, I'll tell you — and help you write the job description.

Q: How do you hand off when the engagement ends?
A: Knowledge transfer is built in from the start, not rushed at the end. Your internal champions co-own the roadmap throughout, so when the retainer winds down, the program keeps running. I document decisions and reasoning, not just outcomes.
