Challenge
A tech giant’s privacy team is overworked and overwhelmed. They face a constant stream of DPIA’s (Data Privacy Impact Assessments) but don’t have the budget for a full-time hire to keep up with the workflow.
Approach
An Axiom attorney steps in part-time to complete new DPIAs and to route communications on expired DPIAs. She reviews each DPIA submission and identifies whether additional info is needed to complete review and escalates to the privacy officer as needed. She also liaises with the business side to support privacy incident management within their information technology services group.
Impact
- In-house team offloads 15 hours of routine privacy work each week, allowing them to focus on more time-sensitive matters.
- In addition to privacy impact assessments, Axiom attorney advises on cyber security incident response and policy updates.
- Client conserves $7,650 per week on privacy matters compared to outside counsel equivalent.
