Understand how personal information moves through your organisation
Privacy work begins with the information lifecycle: what is collected, why it is needed, where it is stored, who can access it and when it is removed. Mapping this lifecycle can reveal unnecessary collection or unclear supplier responsibilities. A review can connect privacy considerations to access controls, staff processes and new technology decisions, including AI tools. The relevant obligations and intended outputs should be established for your organisation rather than assumed from a generic checklist.
What to prepare before we start
Identify the products, processes or proposed changes to be reviewed. Bring data-flow information, existing notices and supplier arrangements where available. Agree the scope with the people responsible for privacy, technology and the relevant business activity.
Common questions
Privacy advisory FAQs
How are privacy and cyber security related?
Cyber security protects systems and information from threats. Privacy addresses how personal information is handled. The two overlap, but secure systems alone do not resolve every privacy risk.
How is the engagement scoped?
Scope is agreed around your objectives, systems, stakeholders and available resources. Confirm deliverables, responsibilities, exclusions and any ongoing support before work begins.
When is a privacy impact assessment useful?
A privacy impact assessment can help identify and address privacy risks when introducing or changing a product, process or technology. It should consider the information involved, the people affected and possible controls within the agreed scope.
How do privacy and cyber security work together?
Security controls help protect information from unauthorised access or misuse. Privacy also considers why information is collected, how it is used and other aspects of its lifecycle. Coordinating the two can make ownership and information handling clearer.
