Our consultants conduct thorough assessments of an organization’s current practices. This process is a systematic audit designed to identify vulnerabilities and gaps. Our primary goal is to measure the distance between the organization’s current state and a legally compliant, industry best-practice standard, which is critical for adherence to laws like the Health Information Privacy and Accountability Act (HIPAA), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). By pinpointing and prioritizing these risks, we establish a roadmap for remediation.

Our consultants are instrumental in helping clients create, update, and implement policies and procedures. Policies are the high-level guiding principles, while procedures are the detailed step-by-step instructions that employees follow to execute the policies. We ensure these documents are not just legally sound but are also practical and aligned with the organization’s operational realities.

A fundamental task for our consultants is assisting organizations in creating detailed maps and inventories of their personal data. This involves documenting what personal data is collected, where it is processed and stored, how it is secured, and to whom it is transferred. This data inventory is the essential foundation for any privacy, security and business continuity program, as organizations cannot protect data, they do not know they have. This map allows for responsible data handling, enabling the business to demonstrate accountability for all data flows.

Our consultants develop and deliver training programs specifically tailored to different roles within the organization. The purpose of these programs is to educate employees on core data protection principles, such as recognizing and reporting security incidents and understanding their responsibilities under the organization’s privacy policies. By increasing employee awareness, we transform privacy from a niche compliance issue into a shared, operational duty.

Our consultants provide expertise in implementing both technical and organizational safeguards. Technical safeguards might include ensuring proper data encryption and deploying Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools. Organizational safeguards focus on integrating principles like data minimization and establishing effective systems for consent management. We champion the concept of Privacy by Design, ensuring that privacy protections are built into new systems and processes from the outset. We also assist organizations with the implementation of de-identification programs under HIPAA.

In the event of a suspected breach, our consultants assist in managing and investigating privacy breaches and other security incidents. Our role is to provide a structured, compliant approach, which includes coordinating the internal investigation, managing data containment, determining the scope and impact of the breach, and ensuring that any required regulatory and public notifications are executed accurately and within legal timelines This is performed through Rimon Law

Our consultants help organizations manage the privacy compliance of business associates and other third parties. This involves creating a robust process for vendor due diligence (vetting a third party’s privacy practices before engagement) and ensuring that all vendor contracts include necessary privacy provisions, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or Data Processing Agreements (DPAs). This protects the organization from liability caused by a vendor’s failure to protect shared data.Negotiating SCCs, DPAs or other contracts is performed through our collaboration with Rimon Law.

Our consultants assist in creating all necessary compliance documentation required to demonstrate accountability to regulators. This includes drafting public-facing documents like privacy notices (informing consumers about data use) and internal documents like Records of Processing Activities (RoPA). This thorough documentation serves as the organization’s proof of compliance.

Our consultants establish a continuous feedback loop by providing ongoing auditing and monitoring services. This ensures that the privacy, security and business continuity programs remain both effective and up-to-date with changing regulations. We routinely test the implemented controls and processes to confirm they are functioning as intended, providing an essential layer of assurance and adaptation.

Our consultants help organizations report on the status and effectiveness of their privacy, security and business continuity programs to the organization’s management and leadership. These reports provide the executive team with a clear, concise overview of the current risk landscape, key performance indicators (KPIs) of the programs, and any resource needs, enabling informed strategic decision-making.
