Privacy Operating Model

What model is best for your business?

Central to establishing a properly functioning data privacy program is the Privacy Operating Model that underpins it. But how do you define the appropriate model for your organization?

Establishing the foundations for data privacy success

One of the biggest challenges facing organizations as they establish a properly functioning data privacy program is just how to design and set up a Privacy Operating Model which fully supports their program and thus their business.

To be successful, the Privacy Operating Model needs to underwrite practical data privacy with good governance and place trust and transparency at its core.

Our recommendation is to adopt an enterprise-wide approach that fosters collaboration, co-operation and integration between relevant teams and functions and yet remains flexible and adaptable to diverse organizational structures.

Organizations operating cross Caribbean need a robust data protection framework and an effective Privacy Operating Model to both manage risk and transform their ability to engage with regulators.

We offer end-to end support from model design to implementation and monitoring and can also develop the model to establish privacy as a competitive advantage.

Use privacy as a means to outperform your competitors

Organizations with significant customer/consumer bases or large workforces, especially in countries with strong employee privacy protections can benefit from setting up a separate privacy advantage team as a sub-function of the privacy office.
 
Working closely with marketing (for consumer customers) and/or HR (for employee recruitment and retention) this unit focuses externally and internally signalling the organization's commitment to privacy - usually with some focus on outperforming competitors.
