The Protiviti Data Privacy and Protection Service Offer

Did you know that Protiviti has a comprehensive Data Privacy and Protection service offer which can help you throughout your journey to compliance?

We see the journey to compliance as a 4-steps approach:

1. Understand: Do you have to comply with the obligations set by any data privacy and protection law applicable to your context? This is obviously the very first step toward compliance. 

2. Assess: The next logical step, should any data protection obligations apply to your organisation, is an assessment of you current ability to comply with them: that is what we call a Gap Assessment.

3. Evaluate: Should you discover gaps in your ability to comply with your obligations, the next step is to perform a Gap Analysis where each gap will be analysed in details: who can or should resolve it, how to resolve it, who should be consulted and involved in the decision making process to

4. Improve: When a compliance roadmap has been identified, it is time to make the improvement program happen. This will almost certainly include the implementation of technological and organisational changes. Ideally you may want to end this step with a stress test simulating one or more scenarios for which the organisation is preparing (a scenario which, today, will result in a failure).

If you need to understand your personal data protection obligations stated by law, if you are preparing for the GDPR or you need any other help in the area of personal data protection, drop me a note.
