A U.S.-based global agricultural company was looking for support to create and design a global privacy program, aiming to establish a worldwide baseline for privacy compliance.
To align a global privacy program across multiple jurisdictions and divisions, the client needed assistance with identifying and building a governance model and creating a suite of policies tailored to their unique business model, culture, and values.
They also required help with socializing and adopting of the new model, defining roles and responsibilities as well as ensuring awareness and education on the revised policies and procedures.
