What we offer
Advice that works. Impact that lasts. The Privacy Boutique is dedicated to translating complex legal, technical, and ethical challenges into clear, practical solutions. Our advice is pragmatic, accessible, and directly applicable to the day-to-day reality of organisations. We believe that effective privacy and AI governance is not achieved through extensive reports or lengthy advisory engagements, but through solutions that reflect the reality of people, processes, and organisational objectives. That is why our approach is:
- Practical and results-oriented.
- Tailored to the specific context of each organisation.
- Designed to promote transparency, both internally and externally.
- Focused on people and processes.
- Committed to combining sustainable compliance with responsible innovation.
Where others start with models and frameworks, we begin with the organisation itself. By staying closely connected to day-to-day practice, we develop solutions that not only meet legal and regulatory requirements, but are also genuinely understood, embraced, and implemented. Together, we build organisations that are not merely compliant, but above all trustworthy, future-ready, and socially responsible.
INTERIM PRIVACY OFFICER
In the event of temporary capacity constraints, or where appointing a permanent Privacy Officer is not desirable, external privacy expertise can provide a solution. The Privacy Boutique supports organisations in establishing, improving, and managing privacy and data protection policies. Support is tailored to the organisation’s specific needs and stage of development, ranging from advisory and implementation services to the temporary fulfilment of privacy-related roles and responsibilities.
INTERIM DATA PROTECTION OFFICER
In the event of the temporary absence of the Data Protection Officer, or when an organisation seeks to safeguard the independence of its Data Protection Officer function, external DPO services can provide a solution. The Privacy Boutique offers this external service by overseeing privacy compliance, advising on privacy-related matters, raising awareness within the organisation, and further professionalising the function. A pragmatic approach is central to this service, translating legal requirements into workable solutions that align with the organisation’s operational reality.
GDPR / AI QUICK SCAN
The GDPR / AI Quick Scan provides a practical and structured overview of the current state of privacy, data protection, and AI governance within your organisation. The Quick Scan serves as a baseline assessment, determining the extent to which processes, policies, and controls align with the requirements of the GDPR, and - where relevant - obligations arising from the AI Act. Based on this assessment, you will receive an overview of strengths, areas for improvement, and potential compliance risks.
TAILORED CONSULTING PROJECTS
Organisations are regularly confronted with specific issues where temporary, specialised expertise is required. In such situations, targeted advice can help manage risks, support informed decision-making, and ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Privacy Boutique provides support across a wide range of privacy and data protection matters, tailored to the organisation’s needs and the specific project at hand. This may include conducting a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA), reviewing and negotiating data processing agreements and other privacy-related contracts, or advising on the selection and implementation of new software solutions involving the processing of personal data. Temporary support can also be valuable in the context of audits, compliance assessments, or investigations. By critically reviewing your processes, documentation, and control measures, your organisation gains insight into potential risks and areas for improvement.
PRIVACY CONCIERGE
Not every privacy matter requires a tailored consulting project or the deployment of an interim Privacy Officer. In day-to-day practice, however, situations may arise in which swift expert guidance is required. This could include an employee with a privacy-related question, a planned data sharing initiative, a potential data breach, or a new application that needs to be assessed on short notice. With its Privacy Concierge service, The Privacy Boutique provides accessible, on-demand access to privacy expertise for organisations that occasionally require specialist support, without the need for — or cost of — a standing external engagement. The focus is explicitly on ad hoc questions and practical issues that need to be assessed or discussed quickly, enabling organisations to move forward without unnecessary delay or uncertainty.
