We help you simplify, prioritize, and execute. ### Privacy Maturity Going from managed to optimized often means simplifying to make room for what matters. If you’re tired of debating cookie-banner wording, you need well-defined governance, a clear risk appetite, and strong guardrails. ### Data Process Mapping Our proprietary Data Process Mapping for Privacy helps you understand how data is used and moves in contexts. It goes beyond inventories and diagrams to support informed decision making. ### The Privacy Roadmap™ The Privacy Roadmap™ is a practical action plan to get from where you are to where you want to be, with specific, prioritized steps to meet risk-management and compliance goals. ![](https://theprivacypro.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/context.png?width=450&height=450&name=context.png) [Book an Introductory Call](https://cal.com/theprivacypro/newclient) ##### LET'S GET STARTED ##### Build real skills.

The Privacy Pro works with private sector companies and nonprofit organizations of all stages and sizes, with a focus on B2B SaaS, fintech, healthtech, and consumer technology. We do not work with government or with healthcare institutions and providers. - ### Are there privacy consulting services The Privacy Pro does not offer? The Privacy Pro does not provide loan staff, fill temporary positions, or offer white-label consulting. We also do not take on large-scale privacy program implementations, compliance assessments, audits, software implementation, or cybersecurity services. We work with a network of independent consultants and specialists who do, so get in touch if you would like a referral. - ### What does a privacy consultant do? A privacy consultant helps organizations manage privacy risks and put privacy requirements into practice. The work includes building privacy programs, conducting privacy impact assessments, mapping personal data, assessing vendors and new technologies, and advising teams on how to collect, use, and share personal information. Privacy consultants work across legal, product, technology, and security teams to shape how data is handled day to day. The Privacy Pro is a boutique privacy consultancy serving organizations in the U.S. and Canada, specializing in B2B SaaS, fintech, healthtech, and consumer technology. - ### What does it mean to operationalize privacy? Operationalizing privacy means turning privacy requirements and policies into everyday business practice. It covers who owns privacy decisions, when teams run privacy impact assessments, how vendors get reviewed, and how long data is kept. An operational privacy program works inside existing processes, such as product development and procurement, so privacy happens by default. - ### How much does privacy consulting cost? The cost of hiring a privacy consultant depends on the scope of work, the number of privacy laws involved, and how the engagement is structured. Common models include fixed-fee projects, monthly retainers, and time and materials billed hourly. The Privacy Pro engagements typically run $10,000 to $50,000 per month over three to six months. Fixed-fee projects for new clients start at $15,000. - ### Do I need a privacy consultant or a privacy lawyer? Many organizations need both. A privacy lawyer interprets the law and gives legal advice. A privacy consultant looks at how the business actually uses personal information, then builds the programs, processes, and decisions that make privacy work in practice. Privacy goes beyond what the law requires, so the two roles complement each other. - ### Should I hire a boutique privacy consultancy or a Big Four firm? It depends on the size and scope of the work. Big Four firms have large teams and suit enterprise-wide programs across many countries. At a boutique privacy consultancy, the senior expert who pitches the work usually does the work. At larger firms, partners often sell the engagement and junior staff deliver it. Boutiques suit companies that want direct access to senior expertise and advice built around how they operate. At The Privacy Pro, Lauren Reid does the work on every engagement. - ### What should I look for in a privacy consultant? Look for a privacy consultant who has worked in many organizations similar to yours. In-house experience shows they understand how decisions really get made. Confirm they know the privacy laws that apply to you, and ask whether the person pitching the work will do the work. A good privacy consultant also tells you when an issue needs a lawyer.
