Our Story

Leadership of any large, complex or multi national enterprise will recognize that protecting the business requires competencies greater than any department, whether security, privacy, legal, risk, or other alone possesses. Each leveraging their own expert resources unaligned can produce disjointed outcomes. 

The Privacy Panel brings together expertise in technical operation, security, privacy, law, audit, training, continuity, and regulatory oversight, to bridge disciplines, and to inform leaders and boards holistically. 

The Privacy Panel , one partner, a comprehensive view, a cohesive strategy for success

 

For any small to medium sized business or boutique firm with great product, ideas and momentum that feels expansion to global markets is timely, but is not yet ready to commit to a privacy or data protection infrastructure, hiring the staff, managing the engagement of a global consulting powerhouse firm, or to dilute their attentions from their go-to-market strategy, there has been few options.

 

The Privacy Panel was envisioned and created to specifically meet this need

 

Each of our founding associates have extensive global data protection platform and program experience. You benefit not just from our individual strengths, but from our strength as a collaborative, discussing and comparing notes, investing in the continual improvement of our techniques and methodologies, offering ability, locality, and language capabilities.

 

We can work with your leadership and  teams wherever located and provide local and often in-language guidance or knowledgeable hands in Europe, Asia, UK, Australia and the US.

 

And with our partner relationships we can often provide the needed applied resources for security, legal support, and management of global engagements wherever needed.

More of Our Story

Collectively, our team has worked with hundreds of companies, and so often the stories are the same.

 

Clients understand that they are not where they need to be in the maturity of their privacy posture, progress made is difficult to sustain with changing business, or with the emergence of new laws, and there are internal barriers to the adoption of their programs they cannot break past.

Or for some, they are simply dissatisfied by the limitations imposed by their choice of tools, platform, or partner, but do not want to start over, or lose the investment and efforts already made. 

 

The Privacy Panel offers the expertise to assess where you are and to provide the guidance and expertise to right your programs, leveraging both your prior efforts, and the good will established with your business stake holders. 

 

Working with our experts can help to reenergize your programs whether 

in the platform or direction in which you have invested, or with our guidance, ease transition from tools or approaches that have not met your expectations to those of better fit, capitalizing on knowledge gained and the work already done.

 

And for  those that need, we move well past data protection and satisfying laws alone, and can work with your security, continuity and other business protection specialists, across your business, and with company leadership, to shape a strategy, to produce a better outcome, a more integrated solution, and clear the barriers to successful program adoption that so many businesses experience.
