Juan Molina.
Biography and credentials
CDPSE · CIPP/US · CIPP/E · CIPM · AI Workflow Automation (FIU) — enterprise data protection, privacy, and cybersecurity advisory with a practitioner’s track record across Fortune 500 and regulated industries.
Fortune 500 Advisory. Built for Every Business.
Juan Molina spent more than a decade inside the environments where data protection and privacy failures carry the highest consequences — Fortune 500 companies in regulated industries, where the gap between vendor promise and operational delivery translates directly into regulatory action, litigation, and reputational damage.
Before founding Sitoo Advisory, Juan led digital transformation and security programs with direct privacy impact at Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), PwC, NextEra Energy, Forvis, and Seminole Hard Rock Support Services (SHRSS) — observing firsthand how organizations of every size unknowingly accepted incomplete protection as if it were enough.
Most companies rely on contractual obligations but lack the operational execution to back them up. That is where Sitoo Advisory bridges the gap — with the hands-on expertise and strategic value clients actually need, not just what shows up in a report.
That practical enterprise experience is backed by five of the most rigorous credentials in the field: CDPSE (ISACA — the technical standard for privacy engineering in systems), CIPP/US and CIPP/E (IAPP — U.S. and European regulatory frameworks), CIPM (IAPP — operational management of privacy programs), and AI Automation (FIU — Applied Business Science in AI workflow automation). Together: the full stack of technical implementation, U.S. law, GDPR, program governance, and AI-driven operational efficiency.
Sitoo Advisory was founded on one principle: every organization — from startup to enterprise — deserves the same quality of data protection advisory as the Fortune 500 companies where these standards were built, without paying Fortune 500 prices for it.
“Companies are not protected by their size — they are targeted precisely because of how attackers calculate effort versus reward. The same regulatory obligations, the same attacker interest, often with a fraction of the internal resources to respond. That asymmetry is exactly the problem Sitoo Advisory exists to solve.”
