For privacy consultants
Every engagement starts with finding out what data a business holds and where. Sell the data audit as an offer, then an annual review as a package, and keep a monthly slot for the questions in between.
Nobody knows where the data is
A client asks for a privacy policy and doesn’t know which tools hold customer data.
The audit gets done once, and the next new tool breaks it within a month.
Small businesses want advice by email, and every reply is unpaid.
What’s different for privacy consultants
The data audit as an offer
Send an offer with the scope of the audit and a share due now. The client accepts your terms and pays before you look at their systems.
A review each year
Set a row to one review, good for twelve months, or tick Every month for a standing slot that covers the questions in between.
Questions privacy consultants ask
What does a privacy consultant do?
Finds out what personal data a business holds, why and where, then helps it meet the rules that apply, from policies to processes.
Is a privacy consultant the same as a lawyer?
No. A consultant advises on practice and process; legal opinions come from a lawyer. Say so in your agreement.
How often should a business review its privacy practices?
At least once a year, and whenever it adds a tool that handles customer data.
Your page on the first day
This is the consulting setup, and it’s what your page starts with. Change any of it where it appears.
- Clients can book from tomorrow onward.
- Moving or canceling is free up to 24 hours before.
- There are 15 minutes clear after every session.
- Before booking, your page asks: “What should I read before we talk?”
Your engagement letter opens with this: Advice is given in good faith on the information you share; decisions and outcomes stay yours.
What it doesn’t do for you
There’s no data mapping tool, no consent manager and no legal opinions. The page holds the engagement and the money.
