Executive Summary

A Privacy Program That Operates — Not Just a Policy Page.

Privacy compliance is operational, not aspirational. A documented program means a current data inventory, a defensible legal basis for every processing activity, a working DSAR workflow, signed DPAs with vendors, and DPIAs on high-risk activities. Sitoo Advisory builds that program against the regulations that actually apply to you — and leaves your team running it.

Business Problem Solved

Regulatory Exposure Your Team Has No Visibility Into.

Most SMBs don’t know which privacy laws actually apply to them, what data they hold, where it flows, who they share it with, or how they would respond to a regulator letter or a data subject request. Sitoo Advisory eliminates that blind spot in weeks — with a documented, defensible program scoped to your jurisdictions.

Who This Is For

Is This Right for Your Business?

Companies that collect personal data from California residents, EU data subjects, or patients
Businesses receiving data subject requests with no documented process for handling them
Teams preparing for a GDPR audit, regulatory inquiry, or privacy certification
Organizations with EU or UK operations needing cross-border data transfer compliance
Any company whose data practices have grown faster than its privacy governance
Common Pain Points

What We Fix

No privacy program — just a privacy policy

A page on your website is not a privacy program. You have no data inventory, no documented processing activities, no DSAR workflow, and no training.

Regulatory exposure you’re not tracking

CCPA applies if you do business with California residents. GDPR applies if you process EU data. Most SMBs don’t know which regulations actually apply to them.

Data subject requests with no process

Requests to access, delete, or correct personal data have legal response deadlines. Without a documented workflow, you’re already non-compliant.

Third-party data sharing with no controls

You share data with vendors and partners with no DPA, no transfer impact assessment, and no tracking of where personal data goes after it leaves your environment.
