Data Privacy
The diversity and rich experience in the team ensures that Privacy assessment is done in a comprehensive manner after taking into account various aspects such as Nature of activities, Business Continuity and Operational risk.
Assess, Identify, Monitor & Comply
We help organizations assess, identify, monitor and comply with Global Data Privacy regulations.
Gap Assessment
Review current processes and data privacy regulations to identify key compliance requirements. This multi stage process involves data flow analysis, privacy questionnaires and the impact assessment report.
Risk-Based Compliance Framework
Create a compliance framework, including privacy contracts, for data protection based on gap assessment, vulnerability management and response planning.
Monitoring
Conduct regular monitoring with the use of analytics to ensure compliance and review the evolving nature of data protection laws.
Documentation
Prepare and maintain records of data processing, sharing and retention activities as per the regulations. ICOs can explicitly ask for such information at any time.
Audit Support
Provide end-to-end Data Privacy Program Implementation support. This includes conducting risk assessments (PIA/DPIA), maintaining ROPA, handling DSARs, and ensuring policy adherence, as well as providing the necessary support during regulatory inquiries.
Training & Awareness
Oversee employee training and awareness for privacy policies and practices. Prepare customized Data Privacy training as many regulations mandate that organizations conduct data privacy training for employees at regular intervals.
HOW THIS WORKS
By following these steps, organizations can assess Data Privacy risks, ensure stronger governance and comply with regulations.
Gap Assessment
A comprehensive Data Privacy Gap Assessment takes place to identify the existing gaps. This includes conducting:
Initial Compliance Review
- Assess data handling practices of the firm against global data privacy regulations.
- Understand where personal data is stored, processed and transferred.
Gap Analysis
- Identify gaps in compliance.
- Provide a detailed report on areas that need improvement.
- Provide insights based on Laws pertaining to specific geographies.
Risk-Based Compliance Framework
A Custom Data Privacy framework is created based on gap assessment. This includes the following steps:
Data Mapping and Classification
- Create a framework to map and classify personal data across the firm, identify sensitive data and ensure its secure handling.
Consent Management Platforms
- Implement platforms that manage consent collection, storage and revocation to ensure compliance with regulations.
Incident Management and Breach Notification
- Set-up incident response mechanisms for identifying, managing and reporting data breaches as per jurisdictional requirements (e.g. GDPR’s 72-hour reporting rule).
Privacy by Design
- Build processes and procedures to prevent data privacy incidents from occurring in the first place.
Monitoring
Continuous monitoring is done after framework implementation to ensure compliance. This includes:
Regulatory Change Management
- Ensure that the firm remains compliant with evolving regulations. For instance, as the new implemented Acts mature, more updates and new obligations are likely for Data Controllers.
Updates
- Regularly updating the existing systems and data inventory to account for any new data sources or processing activities.
Automated Monitoring
- Implement solutions that automate privacy monitoring and flag potential issues in real time.
Audit Support
- Provide audit support for internal or regulatory audits by ensuring that the firm is always ready for compliance check.
