Data Protection & Privacy Strategy

Our Data Privacy & Protection Strategy service helps you proactively manage data risks, align to regulatory obligations, and establish trusted data handling practices across your organisation. Whether you are responding to legislative change, scaling data use, or modernising your platforms, we give you a structured path to embed protection and privacy from the ground up. We make compliance practical, policies actionable, and protection scalable.

What We Deliver: 

  • Data Protection Assessment: Evaluate your current controls, policies, technologies, and risks.
  • Regulatory Alignment Review: Map obligations across privacy laws and frameworks (e.g. Privacy Act, GDPR, ISO27001).
  • Information Classification & Handling: Define how different types of data are stored, accessed, and secured.
  • Policy & Governance Frameworks: Design practical data protection policies and governance roles that work.
  • Backup & Recovery Strategy: Establish reliable data restoration, retention, and disaster recovery protocols.
  • User Education & Enablement: Increase awareness and accountability with clear guidance and comms.

What You Will Gain:

  • Reduced Data Risk: Identify and mitigate gaps before they lead to exposure or non-compliance.
  • Regulatory Confidence: Demonstrate alignment to applicable frameworks with structured documentation.
  • Improved Data Practices: Drive consistency and accountability in how data is stored, accessed, and managed.
  • Business Continuity: Ensure critical data is backed up, restorable, and recoverable when it matters most.
  • Stronger Trust: Build stakeholder and customer confidence through transparent, responsible data practices.

We take a clear, balanced approach to data protection, one that makes compliance achievable and security sustainable. Our consultants bring deep experience across risk, ICT, governance, and change to help your teams own data protection, not just document it.
