Framework Compliance
Creating a Data Privacy and Security Compliance Framework
What does creating a data privacy and security compliance framework entail?
1. Assessment and Analysis
We start by conducting a thorough assessment of your current data privacy and security practices, identifying potential vulnerabilities and areas for improvement, such as:
• Governance and risk management;
• Data minimization practices;
• Data subject rights;
• Information security controls;
• Incident management process;
• Record retention practices;
• Training and awareness;
• Third-party risk management;
• Records of processing activities; and
• AI, cybersecurity legislation compliance.
2. Policy and Procedure Development
Our team crafts tailored policies, and procedures, that align with industry standards, legal and regulatory requirements, as well as aligning with your company’s unique operational practices to ensure your company is using best practices when handling data.
3. Implementation
We can assist companies in integrating enhanced security measures, including encryption, access controls, and regular audits, to protect your data from unauthorized access and breaches.
4. Training and Awareness
Empower your team with the knowledge they need to maintain data privacy and security practices and AI governance legislation requirements, through comprehensive training programs and on-going support.
5. Continuous Monitoring and Improvement
Our framework development includes continuous monitoring, and regular updates, to adapt to the complex, always-evolving, legal and regulatory landscape.

A Client Story
One of our clients is focused on building out their data privacy and security framework.
Like many small businesses, they made the mistake of buying generic, off-the-shelf policies that didn’t really fit their unique operations. These standard documents often list the legal, and regulatory, requirements to comply with relevant data protection laws, but they fall short on explaining how to implement the necessary day-to-day operational requirements. Because of this mismatch, their day-to-day practices didn’t align with the policies, leaving them out of compliance with relevant data protection legislation, such as the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
Luckily, they sought our services to help fix the problem.
We started by diving deep into their existing policies and procedures. With their limited budget in mind, we prioritized re-writing the essential documents to better match their actual operations. We also offered advice on boosting their security platform, recommending some solutions they could handle, internally, and others that might be more efficient to outsource.
By providing a few essential framework documents, and key security improvements, VKC-PC has given them a solid starting point. As they continue to grow their program, over time, they’ll be able to build on this strong foundation.
