When you understand your data, you understand your risk —
and your team can move faster.
Privacy, AI and data governance that works the way your business does.
What We Do
Most companies reach a point where privacy and data governance can’t be handled informally anymore — but a full-time executive hire isn’t the right answer yet. PrivacyWise is built for exactly that moment.
As your compliance and governance partner, we embed directly with your team — setting strategy, managing day-to-day compliance, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks across privacy, AI and regulatory risk.
- Senior-level expertise, without the full-time hire.
- Embedded in your team, not parachuted in for a report or when there’s a problem.
- Privacy and AI Governance are treated as one connected discipline, not two parallel workstreams.
- Privacy training.
Who We Work With
We work with data-driven companies across technology, adtech, healthcare, retail, and financial services — from high-growth SaaS platforms to enterprise brands navigating complex, multi-national regulatory environments.
General Counsel & Legal Teams
You need privacy managed and off your plate. We act as your operational partner — running the program, flagging risk, and translating compliance requirements into actions your teams can actually execute.
See how we support legal teams →Executive Leadership & GCs at Growth-Stage Companies
Audits, deals and board conversations have a way of making privacy gaps visible at the worst possible time. We give you a clear picture of where you stand and a prioritized roadmap to get where you need to be.
Start with an assessment →Compliance, Product & Engineering Teams
Compliance requirements buried in policy docs don’t get executed and your team can only act on what they understand. We translate legal obligations into clear workflows so your team knows exactly what to do, and does it.
Talk to us about your program →Why PrivacyWise
Real-world experience.
We’ve built and run privacy programs inside the kinds of companies that you are growing. We know what breaks when privacy lives only in the legal team, and how to fix it before it does.
One size does not fit all.
We build around your operations, not from an off-the-shelf framework. Your program should be designed around how your business actually works, which means they hold up as you scale and don’t need to be rebuilt every time something changes.
Getting things done.
We own the day-to-day so you don’t have to think about it until you need to. Privacy stays current, issues get caught early and leadership gets clear reporting, without it becoming another thing on your plate.

Ready to get your privacy done?
Maybe you’ve outgrown informal processes —
or maybe the stakes just got higher.
A customer is asking harder questions. AI is moving faster than your governance program. A deal, audit, or regulator suddenly needs answers you can stand behind. PrivacyWise helps you understand where you stand, reduce uncertainty, and put practical governance structures in place before small issues become expensive ones.
Whether you need an assessment, embedded leadership, targeted advisory support, or expert backup for your internal team, we work at the level that fits your business — and scale with you as your needs evolve.
For: Inherited gaps, post-incident, pre-deal, scaling past informal
Before you can fix a governance program, you need an honest picture of it. Our assessments and audits give leadership a clear view of current posture and a prioritized roadmap for what to address first. Findings are written for general counsel and executive audiences, not compliance specialists.
- Governance maturity assessments (DataClarity)
- Website consent & tracking audits (ConsentClarity)
- Regulatory gap analysis — US, GDPR, sector-specific
- Internal privacy or AI governance audits
- ISO 27001 / 27701 / 42001 and SOC 2 readiness
For: No dedicated privacy function, GC who needs it off their plate, outgrowing informal
You don’t need to hire a Chief Privacy Officer. But leaving privacy and AI governance to informal processes creates real risk as your business grows. PrivacyWise embeds with your team as your data governance function — managing day-to-day compliance, keeping your program current as regulations change, and giving leadership a consistent point of contact.
- Fractional embedded governance — dedicated principal, ongoing program management
- Privacy and AI governance integrated as one program
- Vendor and third-party risk management
- Regulatory monitoring and program updates
For: Lean privacy or legal teams that need extra support, GCs who want expert backup without an embedded engagement
Most of your privacy and compliance work gets handled in-house — but some questions need specialized expertise you don’t use often enough to build. On-Demand Hours gives you a PrivacyWise team on call for exactly those moments.
- On-demand privacy and AI governance advisory
- Vendor contract and DPA review
- Regulatory interpretation and monitoring
- Consumer rights request support
- Policy review and updates
- Incident triage and second opinions
For: One-time projects, specific deliverables, high-stakes moments
Not every situation calls for an ongoing engagement. Sometimes you need a specific deliverable, a fast answer, or expert support at a critical moment. Our advisory and project services are scoped to a defined outcome and priced accordingly — standalone or alongside an existing engagement.
- Custom training programs
- Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)
- Transaction and deal support
- Regulatory response support
- AI governance framework development
- DPO services
We’re not your typical
compliance consultants.
PrivacyWise is a data governance firm built for companies that run on data — and need privacy and AI governance to work the way their business does.
We’re a team of senior privacy and data governance operators. Not theorists. Not generalists. People who have built and run compliance programs inside data-driven companies — and who understand that the real challenge isn’t knowing the regulation, it’s making it work operationally.
We embed with your team, learn your business, and act as your data governance function — whether that means managing an entire program, closing a specific gap, or being the expert in the room when it matters.
Privacy and AI governance aren’t separate disciplines. They’re the same problem: knowing what data you have, how it flows, and whether the way you’re using it meets your legal and ethical obligations. Companies that treat them as separate workstreams end up with two incomplete programs instead of one good one.
We also believe compliance should enable your business, not slow it down. Every recommendation we make is grounded in what’s actually required — not what’s theoretically safest.
Our clients are typically general counsel, chief privacy officers, and senior leaders at scaling companies in adtech, SaaS, healthcare technology, and AI-driven industries. They have serious data environments, real regulatory exposure, and internal teams that need specialized support — not a vendor who delivers a report and disappears.
Most compliance support falls into one of two categories: law firms that advise but don’t implement, or large consultancies that implement slowly and expensively. PrivacyWise sits in neither. We’re senior operators who do the work — embedded, accountable, and focused on outcomes.

Flexible engagements built around
what you actually need.
Privacy laws have multiplied globally, and AI governance obligations are arriving fast. Most companies don’t have the internal bandwidth to keep up, and the cost of getting it wrong is real: regulatory exposure, contract loss, and damaged trust with customers and partners.
PrivacyWise is a data and AI governance consulting firm. We embed directly into your operations, working alongside legal, product, and engineering, to build programs that are operationally grounded, not just technically compliant. We treat privacy and AI governance as one discipline, because they share the same data, the same risk surface, and increasingly the same regulatory requirements.
Our Approach
-
Embedded, not outsourcedWe sit inside your operations — joining your meetings, learning your systems, working directly with your team. You get a partner who knows your business, not a firm that responds to tickets.
-
Risk-first prioritizationWe scope our work to what matters most for your business and risk tolerance, not what looks impressive on a framework diagram.
-
Unified data & AI governancePrivacy and AI governance share the same data infrastructure and the same compliance obligations. We don’t split them artificially — we address them together.
-
Build capability, not dependencyOur goal is to build programs your team can sustain and grow. We tackle the most urgent needs first, then layer on capability over time.
How We Work With You
Embedded Support — Subscription
A dedicated PrivacyWise principal embedded in your operations, managing your day-to-day governance program alongside your team. We’re in your meetings, tracking your open items, and moving your program forward continuously. This is a working partnership, not a help desk.
- Dedicated principal: single point of accountability with full program continuity
- Day-to-day operations: policy management, regulatory monitoring, contract support, incident response
- Cross-functional: works directly with legal, sales, marketing, product, and engineering
- Prepaid hour buckets: discounted additional hours that don’t expire during your subscription
- Premier tier: includes an annual Internal Governance Audit by senior PrivacyWise consultants
On-Demand Support — Monthly Hours
A monthly bucket of hours you can draw on when governance questions come up. We onboard to your business from the start, so when you reach out, we know your environment. We’re not running your program — think of it as expert backup, not an embedded team.
- Onboarding included: we document your environment upfront so there’s no ramp-up time when you need us
- Flexible deployment: requests handled by the right principal or consultant for your need
- Use-or-lose monthly: hours allocated each month expire at month-end — no rollover
Advisory and Project-Based Services — Fixed Fee & Scoped
Not every need fits a subscription. Our project services are scoped to a defined outcome, priced as a fixed fee, and delivered against a clear workplan — standalone or alongside an existing engagement.
- Privacy and AI governance program development
- Regulatory gap analysis — US federal and state, GDPR, EU AI Act, and others
- Data mapping, inventory, and lifecycle design
- Vendor and third-party risk management frameworks
- Incident response planning and tabletop exercises
- Privacy- and AI-by-design reviews for product and engineering teams
- Role-specific training — executives, legal, engineers, and general staff
How Engagements Start
Pricing
All engagements are custom-scoped. We don’t publish rates because the right engagement depends on your situation — the size of your program, the complexity of your data environment, and what you need us to own versus support.
What we can tell you: we’re designed to be a cost-effective alternative to hiring full-time privacy leadership or engaging a large law firm. We’re built for companies that need serious expertise without the overhead.
Let’s start a
conversation.
