Privacy & Compliance Alignment
PCI DSS, GDPR, CCPA, and framework alignment handled as a coordinated business function, not a separate, bolted-on workstream.
What This Is
Most organizations treat privacy and compliance as either a legal problem or a security checklist, and the two rarely talk to each other well. This work sits at that intersection: translating your legal and regulatory obligations into operational controls and evidence, and coordinating directly with your counsel so obligations, controls, and audit evidence stay in sync.
Is This the Right Fit
- Multiple overlapping obligations (PCI, state privacy law, a customer's contractual requirements) with no single owner
- Legal and security or IT aren't coordinated; policy says one thing, practice does another
- An upcoming audit, certification renewal, or new market entry has triggered new compliance scope
- Customer security questionnaires and DPAs are consuming significant unplanned time
What You'll Have
- A regulatory and framework applicability matrix
- A data map and records of processing activities
- A gap register with remediation priorities
- An aligned policy set, security and legal speaking the same language
- An audit-ready evidence package
“Compliance shouldn't live in a silo separate from how you actually operate. This gets your legal obligations and your operational controls speaking the same language.”
Also Consider
Fractional CISO Leadership (ongoing ownership of the compliance function)
Risk Assessments (third-party and data risk feeding into applicability decisions)
AI Governance & Enablement (where AI touches regulated data)
This works as a standalone engagement or as an ongoing function inside Fractional CISO Leadership. Let's talk about which fits.
