The Privacy Office

Privacy Officer Services

Standing oversight, not a checklist.

You are the de facto compliance person because no one else is. You started a compliance binder three times. The third one is in a folder on the shared drive that nobody opens.

You do not have time to be a Privacy Officer. You have a practice to run, or a company, or a department, or all three.

This is the lane that takes the title.

What we actually do

  • Named Privacy Officer or vCISO, signed onto your org chart and your policies.
  • Quarterly risk reviews and rolling remediation, with documented decisions you can hand to an auditor.
  • Vendor risk and BAA pipeline ownership, end to end.
  • Incident readiness and tabletop exercises that match the size of your actual team.
  • Workforce training calendar and attestation tracking, kept current and signed.

Who this is for

Healthcare practices, regulated small businesses, and professional services firms that need a Privacy Officer on the org chart but cannot justify a full-time hire. One retainer. One person on the line. Standing relationship.

Who this is not for

Organizations that have a Privacy Officer in name only and want a vendor to sign off on the title without sitting in the meetings. Anyone shopping for the cheapest fractional on the market. The work is the work. The retainer reflects that.

How we work

  1. Twenty-minute scoping call. No cost. We confirm fit, scope, and the right form of retainer.
  2. Written engagement letter. Named role on the org chart. Defined hour band. Reporting line. Continuity terms.
  3. Onboarding. Two to four weeks. We meet the team, read the policies, walk the floor where applicable, build the risk register.
  4. Standing cadence. Monthly working session, quarterly partner review, annual board-ready report.
  5. Continuity. If the engagement ends, you keep every artifact, every decision record, and a documented handover.

The artifact trail

Compliance is a paperwork discipline first. Every decision we make on your behalf gets written down with a date, a rationale, and a signature. If a regulator or auditor ever asks "why this control, why now," the answer is in a file the practice owns. That is the work, not the title.
