What our data privacy consulting covers

Our data privacy consulting services pair advisory guidance with the artifacts your program needs. You work with independent consultants who help you build, not operators who take over.

  • Data Mapping & RoPA

    We map what personal data you hold and where it flows, and build your Record of Processing Activities.

  • Gap Assessment

    We measure your program against the laws that apply and show you exactly what is missing.

  • DPIA & Risk Assessments

    We build the DPIA templates and document the high-risk processing the regulations require.

  • Policies & Procedures

    We draft the internal policies and operating procedures that make your program real and repeatable.

  • Consumer Notices

    We build the privacy notices and disclosures your customers and regulators expect to see.

  • Audit Readiness

    We prepare you to pass an independent privacy audit, so your program holds up when someone checks.

How We Work

Guidance that leaves your team stronger.

We build your privacy program alongside your team, so the knowledge and the documentation stay in-house. You finish the engagement with a working program you own, run, and can keep current on your own.

  • Built alongside you

    We work with your team throughout, so the expertise stays in your building.

  • A program you own

    You walk away with working policies, records, and procedures your team runs day to day.

  • Advice without conflict

    Because we never operate the programs we assess, the guidance you get is genuinely independent.

Who We Help

When businesses call us

Our data privacy consulting fits the moments when a program needs to get built, matured, or ready, fast.

  • No dedicated privacy team

    You have obligations but no in-house privacy expertise to build the program from scratch.

  • Expanding to new markets

    New states or countries mean new privacy laws, and your program needs to catch up to them.

  • Preparing for an audit

    A customer, regulator, or the CCPA cybersecurity audit is coming, and you need to be ready.

  • After a complaint or incident

    Something surfaced a gap, and you need to close it and document the program properly.

  • Scaling fast

    Growth has outrun your privacy documentation, and you need it to catch up without slowing down.

  • Outdated privacy docs

    Your policies, notices, and records have drifted out of date, and the law has moved on.

FAQ

Consulting questions, answered

What our consulting includes, where the boundary is, and how it differs from an audit.

What is data privacy consulting?

Data privacy consulting is advisory work that helps a business build and mature its privacy program. A consultant maps your data, finds the gaps against the laws that apply, and helps you build the artifacts a compliant program needs, such as a Record of Processing, DPIA templates, policies, and consumer notices.

Do you act as our outsourced DPO?

No, and that is deliberate. We advise you and build your program with you, then hand it back so your team runs it. We do not operate your program or serve as your outsourced or fractional DPO. A firm that runs your program cannot later audit it independently, and preserving that independence is central to how TestPros works.

How is consulting different from an audit?

Consulting helps you build and improve your program: advice, guidance, and the artifacts you need. An audit is an independent verification of a program that already exists, resulting in an evidence-based opinion. Many clients use our consulting to get ready, then engage a separate independent privacy audit to verify the result..

What artifacts do you build?

The documentation a privacy program needs to be real and defensible: a Record of Processing Activities (RoPA), DPIA and risk-assessment templates, internal policies and procedures, and the consumer-facing privacy notices and disclosures, along with a prioritized remediation roadmap.

Which privacy laws can you advise on?

The major privacy laws and standards, including GDPR, CCPA and CPRA, the HIPAA Privacy Rule, and the Age-Appropriate Design Code, among others. Because many businesses fall under several at once, a single engagement can build one program that satisfies the overlap.

How long does a consulting engagement take?

It depends on how mature your program is today, how many laws apply, and how much documentation already exists. We scope every engagement up front so the timeline and cost are clear before we begin, and we work alongside your team so you are self-sufficient by the end.
