VERITY GOVERN · Privacy Program

Privacy programs built on real data mapping, not a template policy.

Data mapping, data protection impact assessments (DPIAs), privacy policy drafting, and breach-response planning — aligned to GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and HIPAA where personal or protected health data is involved.

Service Overview

What Privacy Program Building Includes

A credible privacy program starts with knowing what personal data you actually collect, where it lives, who can access it, and where it flows — not with a template privacy policy copied from a competitor’s website. Privacy Program Building starts with a data mapping exercise across your systems, followed by Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for higher-risk processing activities, a privacy policy actually written to match what you do with data, and a documented breach-response plan.

Programs are scoped to the regulations that actually apply to your organization — the EU/UK GDPR for organizations handling EU or UK resident data, California’s CCPA/CPRA for California consumer data, and HIPAA’s Privacy Rule where protected health information is involved. Where your organization is also building AI governance, this program is cross-referenced with VERITY AI’s governance program so data used to train or feed AI systems is covered by the same mapping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need this if we already have a privacy policy?
A privacy policy alone is not a program. Without underlying data mapping and DPIAs, the policy is often inaccurate about what you actually do with data — a real compliance and legal exposure if it doesn’t match practice.
Does this cover AI training data?
Where AI systems are trained or fed on personal data, this program is cross-referenced with VERITY AI’s Governance Program so the same data mapping covers both privacy and AI governance obligations.
How long does data mapping take?
Data mapping timelines depend on the number of systems and vendors involved; most mid-market organizations complete initial mapping within 4-8 weeks as part of the broader program build-out.
