Privacy as a Service (Protiviti PraaS™)

Tailored, full-service support for privacy priorities

We help organisations understand relevant jurisdictions and obligations, assess needs, implement appropriate compliance measures and safeguards and respond to new and changing privacy regulations.

With the meteoric rise of data proliferation worldwide, new privacy laws have been passed globally, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union (EU), the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and various derivative laws either on the books or on the way to countries worldwide.

These drivers of change are pressure-testing data privacy compliance programmes and creating a complex legal matrix for companies to navigate.

Our Privacy as a Service (Protiviti PraaS™) experts can help.

Holistic framework to addresses the fundamental aspects of data privacy

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.
