Ongoing Privacy & Governance Advisory
A standing advisory relationship that keeps your privacy, data and AI governance current as your systems, suppliers and obligations change.
- Stage
- Sustain
- Timeframe
- Twelve-month agreements, reviewed annually.
- You receive
- 3 named deliverables
- Fee
- Fixed, agreed in writing first
- Who it is for
- Organisations that have completed an assessment or framework build and want continuing support without hiring a full-time specialist.
- The problem
- Obligations, systems and AI use change faster than internal capacity to keep governance current. Without a regular cycle, frameworks drift out of date.
- Scope
- A quarterly governance review against your framework and registers.
- Regulatory update briefings relevant to your organisation.
- Privacy impact assessment support for new projects and suppliers.
- Triage of new AI use cases against your policy.
- Maintenance of policies and registers.
- Annual staff training.
- You receive
- Quarterly governance report.
- Updated registers and policies.
- Short briefing notes when relevant developments occur.
- Timeframe
- Twelve-month agreements, reviewed annually.
- Fee
- Every engagement is fixed-fee. We confirm scope and fee in writing after a free scoping call, before any work starts.
- Not included
- Your organisation remains accountable for its compliance and decisions.
- We do not act as your legal adviser.
- Live incident response is not included unless agreed in writing.
The retainer gives you a consistent adviser who already knows your organisation, so questions get practical answers quickly.
How it runs
- 01
Agree the level
Three levels: Essentials (quarterly review and briefings), Standard (adds monthly advisory hours and PIA support) and Embedded (adds fortnightly contact and training).
- 02
Onboarding
We review your existing framework, registers and open actions.
- 03
Regular cycle
Quarterly reviews, with support between them as needed.
- 04
Annual review
A year-end review of what changed and what to focus on next.
Governance is not a project. It is a cycle.
Questions
Can we start with advisory without an assessment?
Yes, although we usually begin with a short onboarding review so the first quarter is focused on what matters most.
How are fees set?
Each level has a fixed monthly fee agreed upfront. There are no hidden hourly charges for work inside the agreed scope.
