Data Privacy Maturity Framework

Bridewell’s Data Privacy Maturity Framework (DPMF) is an assessment to help your organisation understand the suitability and effectiveness of your existing data privacy programme.

Bridewell's DPMF ensures that your business is aligned with all relevant legislation and frameworks – such as GDPR – and matures your programme in line with industry best practice. 

Why Do I Need a Data Privacy Maturity Framework?

A common challenge for organisations looking to mature their data privacy programme is a lack of expertise and resource to drive improvements within their data privacy framework.

Existing teams are often burdened with ‘firefighting’ activities within their data privacy programme which makes it hard for them to dedicate time to reviewing overall strategy and targeting key priorities.

Often, there also isn’t a subject matter expert in house who can take the lead on reviewing the programme and provide strategic direction.

    What to Expect From a DPMF Service with Bridewell

    By reviewing your current procedures for handling personal data, our experts can ensure that all data is fully protected and being used responsibly.

    Assessing Data Privacy with Bridewell’s Proprietary Framework

    The assessment is based on a propriety framework we have developed in-house, incorporating legislative requirements and globally recognised standards from ISO 27701, NIST PRAM, and more.

    Aligning DPMF with NIST PRAM and ISO 27701 Standards

    Beyond a typical DPMF, our framework provides a more comprehensive view and true reflection of your current maturity. Our DPMF is based on ten established domains and conforms to the precepts of the influential NIST Privacy Risk Assessment Methodology and ISO/ IEC 27701:2019.

    How it Works

    Step One: Our DPMF starts with a complete review of your organisation’s policies, procedures, processes and supporting legal documentation that relates to data privacy and the processing of personal data. This also includes an analysis of whether appropriate safeguards are in place for cross-border data transfers. 

    Step Two: This is followed by several meetings and (where required) workshops with your key stakeholders to help our consultants understand how your business operates, company strategy and discuss processes that pertain to the processing of personal data. We will also review any Register of Processing Activities (if available) and discuss the organisation's risk appetite and desired state of maturity. 

    Step Three: Using these insights, our consultants will collate and review all information captured and utilise the DPMF. Where clients have global operations, we also supports with global jurisdictional mapping. The output is a completed maturity assessment, detailing findings and a roadmap for addressing any shortcomings or improving existing controls.
