Privacy & Data Protection

Privacy programmes, DPIAs, and DPO-as-a-Service aligned to applicable law.

The situation

01

Data protection regimes across emerging and established markets now expect demonstrable compliance: records of processing, DPIAs, breach notification readiness, and accountable privacy leadership.

Difaa delivers privacy and data protection programmes: gap assessment against applicable law, programme build, and DPO-as-a-Service where a named function is required without permanent headcount.

What you get

02

  • Data protection gap assessment against applicable law
  • Privacy programme design and implementation
  • Records of processing activities (RoPA)
  • Data protection impact assessments (DPIAs)
  • DPO-as-a-Service on a monthly retainer
  • Breach readiness aligned to notification duties

  2. Weeks 4–802

    Programme build

    Implement policies, RoPA, DPIA process, and controls with clear ownership inside your organisation.

  3. Ongoing03

    DPO support

    Provide or support the DPO function on a monthly cadence, including advice, oversight, and regulatory engagement readiness.
