Privacy standards in New Zealand and around the globe continue to evolve to meet ever increasing levels of data leaks.

But protecting the personal information your organisation holds goes beyond compliance – it’s a now a cornerstone of your brand’s integrity and the trust customers have in your business. 

The New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and GDPR have transformed how businesses must handle personal information. Managing your obligations to meet these requirements with operational efficiency involves expertise and strategic planning, especially when non-compliance can cause reputational damage and impact your finances due to financial penalties. 

How can we help 

Our privacy experts can help you achieve compliance with the NZ Privacy Act, GDPR, or specific contractual privacy requirements by working with you to understand your unique data handling practices and business requirements. We translate complex legislation into practical solutions that will strengthen your customer relationships. 

During this audit, we assess your privacy policies, processes and controls, and if they comply with the regulations and best practices relevant to your business and industry. You will gain a clear picture of your organisation’s data protection maturity and areas for improvement. 

This comprehensive report analyses gaps in your data protection practices against your privacy regulation obligations. You will receive actionable insights to address any weaknesses and the steps you need to take to achieve compliance. 

These risk-specific assessments will help you mitigate any deficiencies in your organisation’s data processing activities. As part of this service, we conduct comprehensive Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs).  

We help develop, review, and implement structured privacy programmes, including crafting or updating privacy policies, procedures, and related documentation. 

We'll design and deliver tailored training programmes for employees and leadership, providing them with the knowledge of data protection best practices. 

Quickly evaluate your organisation’s privacy compliance state with our intuitive web-based questionnaire. By answering a comprehensive set of questions, you can generate a detailed report identifying compliance gaps to help consider actions you could take to improve your current privacy practices.
