Enterprise Services • ES-04
Privacy / PDP Programme
Turn personal data protection law into operating routine rather than an annual scramble.
Scope
What the engagement covers.
Privacy obligations fail in the gap between legal interpretation and daily processing. This service builds the register, the lawful bases, the workflows and the evidence that a supervisory authority would actually ask for.
Included capabilities
- Data mapping, records of processing and system-level data inventory
- Lawful basis analysis, consent design and legitimate-interest assessments
- Data subject rights workflow with identity verification and SLA
- Cross-border transfer analysis and localization requirements
- Retention schedule, deletion enforcement and proof of destruction
Outputs and deliverables
- Records of processing and data inventory
- Lawful basis register and consent design
- Privacy notices, policies and processor contract clauses
- Retention schedule with enforcement plan and evidence
Workflow
How it is delivered, step by step.
Each step has an owner, an entry condition and an artefact that has to exist before the next step begins.
01MapProcessing activities, systems, data categories, flows and processors.
02AssessLawful basis, necessity, transfer risk and gap against the applicable law.
03DesignPolicies, notices, workflows, retention rules and control requirements.
04EmbedSystem changes, processor contracts, training and operating routines.
05AssureTesting, breach drill, management reporting and periodic re-mapping.
Use cases
Where this is typically applied.
Post-inspection remediation with a fixed regulatory deadline
Preparation before entering a market with strict transfer rules
Delivery model
The operating pattern for Enterprise Services.
The same delivery discipline applies across every capability in this line, so combined engagements stay coherent.
Assess
Current state, obligations, control coverage, gaps and material risks.
Design
Target architecture, control library, policy set, roles and evidence model.
Implement
Build controls into platforms, workflows and delivery pipelines.
Operate
Run the function, or coach the client team while they run it.
Assure
Independent testing, reporting to committee and continuous improvement.
Integration
- Existing GRC, ticketing and ITSM platforms for issue and action flow.
- SIEM, EDR and cloud posture tooling for control evidence.
- HR and identity systems for role, joiner-mover-leaver and access review data.
- Board and committee reporting cycles, so output lands in existing governance.
Engagement approach
Engagements start with a fixed-scope assessment so the client sees findings before committing to a build. Implementation runs in quarterly increments against an agreed roadmap, and any managed element carries a named lead, defined SLA and quarterly service review.
