Data Governance & Data Discovery
Data Governance and Data Discovery are crucial components of an organization’s data management strategy. They serve different purposes, but together, they have several benefits that help organizations effectively manage and leverage their data assets, in addition to helping with compliance.
Privacy Compliance & Data Privacy Risk Management
We assist organizations in meeting current industry and organizational privacy goals. Our experience also helps organizations futureproof against potential legal, regulatory, and market changes driven by ongoing pressure from consumers to protect their personal and sensitive information.
Data Mapping
Data Mapping is the first step an organization takes toward developing a privacy program, and it is necessary to understand what types of data it has and the location of specific data. By performing a Data Mapping exercise, an organization can uncover the types of data, the data’s location, how the data is processed, and who has access to the data.
Legal Holds
When litigation looms, organizations must preserve relevant documents – often known as a legal hold. These documents can include several different mediums, from electronically stored information to paper records. With the duty to preserve, it’s essential to have a workflow set up to ensure that the relevant information is not deleted. An organization may face severe financial, reputational, or legal penalties if it does not comply. Complying with legal holds can be resolved by installing specific automatic tracking software and relying on experts to comply with the duty to preserve.
Public Record Requests
Governmental agencies and departments must respond to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Public Record Requests (PRR) requests within a reasonable time frame, and failure to do so can result in liability for the organization. Requests may come from various sources, including constituents, media, legal entities, and businesses, making it essential to have efficient response processes in place. With proper management of these types of requests, organizations can see a reduction in spend and effort in responding to these requests.

Install proper data governance principles to mitigate data security incident risks.
Reduce Spend
Prevent over collection of personal information to drastically reduce legal spend.
