Who are outsourcing the services?
Within the organization, we often work Product Owners, Legal and Marketing experts, Project Managers and IT officers, who are responsible for addressing the privacy requirements in their products, projects and workflows.
Some stakeholders need advisory on regulatory issues and implementation. Other decide to engage an external expert for building governance and management framework, including policies, procedures, checks and automated workflows.
