Data Protection and Privacy

Data Protection and Privacy Compliance 

Carson & SAINT helps security and compliance leaders cut through the complexity of data protection and privacy. Our compliance advisory services clarify obligations, reduce exposure, and provide practical steps for aligning security, legal, and operational priorities. 

Whether you handle financial records, consumer data, or government information, we help ensure your organization is prepared, not just compliant on paper. 

What’s Standing in the Way of Confident Compliance?  

For many organizations, the problem is execution, not awareness. Fragmented regulations, legacy infrastructure, and inconsistent enforcement across departments make it hard to know where the real risks are. So, even well-resourced teams struggle to stay ahead. 

We often see efforts stall because of issues like disconnected data flows, unclear ownership, misaligned RBAC policies, or policies that exist on paper but not in practice. Add overlapping requirements like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), PCI DSS, and GLBA, and it’s easy to lose sight of what matters most. 

Carson & SAINT helps organizations break through that complexity. Whether you’re preparing for an audit, responding to a near miss, or strengthening a patchwork program, we help you uncover exposure points and chart a way forward. 

Carson & SAINT’s Approach to Compliance Advisory   

We don’t hand over a list of regulations and walk away. Our advisory services are focused, practical, risk-based, and built to support real-world teams working under real-world pressures. 

Through a one-time, high-value review, we help you identify what matters most and what to do next. Typical focus areas include: 

• Data Governance – Mapping data flows, evaluating classifications, and clarifying ownership to reduce exposure. 

• Access & Identity Controls – Reviewing RBAC enforcement, privilege creep, and inconsistencies across hybrid environments. 

• Consent & Data Handling – Assessing consent mechanisms, opt-out workflows, and data handling practices. 

• Third-Party Risk – Evaluating how vendor access is managed and where visibility may be lacking. 

• Breach Preparedness – Reviewing incident response plans, escalation procedures, and legal response readiness. 

We also work with your internal stakeholders to make sure your program can be operationalized.  

Why Carson & SAINT?   

We know how to make compliance actionable. Unlike firms that drop in with generic frameworks and disappear, we stay grounded in operational reality and deliver recommendations your team can implement. 

We’ve worked with government agencies, financial institutions, and large retailers to untangle overlapping mandates, resolve persistent control gaps, and bring clarity to fragmented privacy efforts. Our deliverables are strategic, prioritized, and mapped to your business and regulatory environment.
