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 we solve
Where programs get stuck
- 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
Approach
How engagement works
- 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
- Engagement model
- Project + optional retainer for platform and training support
- Typical timeline
- Discovery in 1–2 weeks; roadmap typically 4–8 weeks depending on scope
- Best fit
- Mid-market and enterprise teams building or modernizing privacy programs
