2. Privacy Governance & Framework Design

  • Develop and operationalize privacy governance models, including DPIA programs, RoPA, data classification, retention schedules, and breach workflows.
  • Establish privacy-by-design principles and integrate them into IT and business processes.
  • Assist clients in setting up Data Protection Office (DPO) functions.
  • 3. Advisory & Consulting

  • Work closely with clients’ IT, Legal, Security, HR, and Compliance teams to drive privacy adoption.
  • Deliver expert advisory on international privacy laws (GDPR / PDPL / CCPA etc.) and their alignment or deviation from DPDPA.
  • Conduct privacy workshops, awareness programs, and executive briefings.
  • 4. Cybersecurity Integration

  • Align privacy and security requirements, bridging DPDPA with cybersecurity controls (ISO 27001, NIST, SOC2, DPMS, CICRA, CSRF etc.).
  • Advise on technical safeguards, including encryption, access controls, DLP, and data minimization strategies.
  • Support incident response processes for data breaches and coordinate breach notifications.
  • 5. Documentation & Reporting

  • Prepare audit-ready documentation, dashboards, and compliance reports.
  • Create implementable solutions, checklists, and toolkits for client delivery.
  • Track engagement progress and ensure timely completion of project milestones.
  • Required Skills & Experience

    Privacy Expertise

  • Demonstrated experience implementing GDPR, DPDPA, PDPL (Saudi), ADGM / DIFC DP Law, CCPA, or similar regulations.
  • Strong understanding of privacy principles, data life cycle, data subject rights, consent, cross-border transfers, and lawful basis processing.
  • Cybersecurity Background

  • Solid grounding in information security concepts, preferably with experience in ISO 27001 or similar frameworks.
  • Ability to integrate privacy and cybersecurity to build holistic protection strategies.
  • Technical & Consulting Skills

  • Proven experience conducting DPIAs, LIA / DTIA, gap assessments, data mapping, and privacy risk assessments.
  • Strong documentation abilities—capable of producing policies, processes, SOPs, and compliance reports.
  • Excellent client-facing, communication, stakeholder-handling, and presentation skills.
  • Experience in advisory / consulting roles is highly preferred.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Certifications in privacy and security such as CIPP / E, CIPM, CIPT, ISO 27701 Lead Implementer / Auditor, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer / Auditor, CDPSE, etc.
  • Experience working in cybersecurity consulting firms or with multi-regional clients.
  • Familiarity with privacy automation tools (OneTrust, BigID, Securiti.ai, TrustArc) is an added advantage.
  • Personal Attributes

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work independently in consulting engagements.
  • Thought leadership mindset with willingness to mentor and guide clients.
  • High ethical standards and commitment to data protection principles.
