Establishing a Manageable Road to Privacy Compliance​

Privacy Compliance

The client was looking for Myna to align the global privacy program across multiple jurisdictions and divisions of the organization. They needed guidance to help identify, build, and implement a governance model and a supporting suite of policies that were tailored to their business model, culture, and values.

To enable adoption of the new privacy program, support was required to socialize and promote the adoption of the new model, including roles, responsibilities, and providing general awareness as well as education on the updated policies and procedures.

our approach

Myna worked with the client to identify existing governance and controls, finding ways to leverage their current model to gain efficiencies and reduce risk across the organization.

  • Myna collaborated with the client to understand, assess, and enhance the current model, creating a comprehensive program governance structure focused on compliance with all relevant global privacy regulations, which the client could implement immediately and continue to mature over the coming years. ​
  • We developed a suite of supporting documentation and worked with the project sponsor to socialize the new processes and policies, address possible potential roadblocks, and secure stakeholder buy-in.​
  • Myna created a suite of policies to support the operationalization of the privacy program.​

Program Outcomes

  • Assessment of the Operating Model, including key observations, recommendations, which led to the creation and implementation of roles and responsibilities for a new global team.
  • A suite of policies was developed and implemented across the organization to support the governance and operationalization of the privacy program.
  • All activities processing personal data in identified high-risk business regions were mapped out, and data inventories were created to track the data lifecycle for each process.​
