Data Privacy

Elevating your privacy program.

Data Privacy Programs, Designed to Protect

For most organizations, data is their most valuable asset – in particular, personal data is one that they need to collect, manage, and protect with care. To comply with privacy regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) , the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) and other U.S. state privacy, biometric, identity and data breach laws, as well as other global privacy obligations, companies need to invest in data protection strategies by defining their policies and determining the necessary controls to protect personal information. BDO’s Global Privacy Resource Guide is a good first stop to learn more about your organization’s obligations. 

Our team of experienced privacy compliance professionals is dedicated to helping our clients succeed. We start by helping them understand their compliance obligations, before developing and executing a program plan designed to minimize cost and disruption while meeting all requirements.
