Privacy Compliance

Achieve regulatory compliance and remain competitive

Privacy risk is an ongoing challenge for organisations across industries and geographies. New regulations and laws continue to evolve rapidly, making it a challenge for organisations to remain compliant with privacy expectations.

Protiviti’s privacy compliance experts identify key risks, address compliance gaps, and provide recommendations and the remediation support necessary to maintain compliance with applicable privacy laws.

Identify key risks and address compliance gaps

Our Privacy Compliance team can help with these solutions:

Data Privacy and Data Protection Strategy

We help you develop and implement a data privacy and data protection strategy supported by a strategic roadmap to operationalise privacy obligations. We connect people, processes, and technologies to automate and reduce the effort of privacy compliance.

Privacy Programme Establishment

For organisations just getting started on their privacy compliance journey, Protiviti’s privacy compliance experts can identify necessary work streams and establish the foundational elements for a global privacy programme.

Compliance and Third-Party Validation

No matter the state of your privacy compliance journey, we help validate and implement efforts to become compliant with regulatory and third-party contractual requirements, including cross-border data transfers.

Privacy Data Subject Requests

Protiviti captures an accurate and complete picture of compliance at scale, enabling companies to manage high-volume data subject requests from consumers.

Privacy Audits, Assessments, and Consent Order Services

We conduct internal audits and assessments to validate and report on the effectiveness of privacy and data protection controls against regulatory requirements and industry frameworks. We also serve as an independent assessor for consent order response services.

Ongoing Compliance Monitoring

Protiviti helps you identify high-risk activities and exposure through ongoing monitoring of compliance data, privacy protection, and changes to legal obligations.

Privacy Programme Optimisation

Data has value for both business growth and compliance. We help you centralise, operationalise, and optimise your data by leveraging industry-leading privacy frameworks for company-wide protection and compliance, such as GDPR, AICPA, and NIST Privacy Framework.

Our comprehensive approach to Data Privacy

Data privacy regulations are in flux globally. Even as companies put the finishing touches on extensive preparations to comply with applicable privacy laws, such as the European Union’s GDPR and California’s Consumer Privacy Act, new regulations continue to be introduced in other countries. As legislators pass new laws, they continuously amend those already in effect. Data privacy regulations are not static.

The problem and proposed solutions are complex and evolving. One thing is almost certain—anyone aiming to comply with a specific regulation with a target date in mind will be disappointed as those near-term obligations are supplanted by new and different rules over the mid- and long-term.

In response to this changing landscape, Protiviti applies a holistic framework that addresses the fundamental aspects of data privacy without being locked into any one specific compliance format. We focus on the most pressing data privacy issues companies face, including:

Developing strategies to address global data privacy regulations
Compliance with regulatory obligations
Addressing resource and skill shortages
Operationalising privacy needs
Implementing privacy tools and remediation support

By working ahead of the law in a comprehensive fashion, Protiviti helps build the foundations of a strong but flexible privacy programme that includes understanding principles, educating stakeholders, and developing an applicable governance structure for managing changes. This base enables companies and their stakeholders to look to the uncertain future of privacy regulations with greater confidence.
