Comprehensive Data Privacy Solutions for the Modern Enterprise
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the proliferation of Cloud, Data Analytics, and IoT technologies has dramatically accelerated both the use and potential misuse of Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Organizations now manage sensitive data across increasingly complex ecosystems that extend far beyond traditional data environments. This expansion creates significant privacy vulnerabilities that can result in severe legal consequences, erosion of consumer trust, and lasting reputational damage.
VerSprite’s comprehensive Data Privacy Services are designed to address these emerging challenges through strategic, tailored approaches that align with global regulatory requirements while supporting your business objectives.

Data Privacy with Data Discovery/Data Flow Diagramming
Uncovering Your Data Liabilities
A fundamental challenge for organizations today is identifying where their data liabilities exist. This challenge intensifies as IT infrastructure transitions from traditional on-premises models to hybrid and cloud environments.
VerSprite’s data discovery services employ advanced methodologies to:
- Map PII Data Flows – We conduct comprehensive data flow diagramming to visualize how customer-managed PII enters, moves through, and exits your IT environments.
- Identify Critical Data Sources – Our experts locate and document all data repositories including databases, flat file systems, cache servers, and other storage components, with specific focus on mapping ingress/egress data flows of PII.
- Implement Advanced Discovery Techniques – We leverage sophisticated eDiscovery methodologies, proprietary tools, and specialized scripts to traverse information systems across on-premises, hosted, and cloud environments to identify data types and assess the extent of PII exposure.
Essential Deliverables for Privacy Management
Locating sensitive PII data is the cornerstone of effectively addressing global data privacy regulations. Our discovery process produces actionable deliverables that empower privacy officers, information managers, and IT leaders to better manage identified PII:
- Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs) – These comprehensive visualizations document protocols, trust boundaries, inherent security controls, and data classification types. DFDs provide technical teams with clear understanding of PII movement throughout IT environments, playing a crucial role in implementing security controls required by privacy frameworks like HIPAA, PIPEDA, GDPR, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation’s Privacy Framework, and Cross-Border Privacy Rules.
- Data Discovery Reports – These detailed documents provide targeted mapping of PII data stores and transportation mechanisms across your infrastructure, accompanied by prescriptive recommendations for addressing identified privacy gaps. These reports serve as evolving resources for ongoing data management efforts, benefiting both IT and privacy professionals.
- Privacy Impact/Threshold Assessments – These non-technical evaluations identify systems, applications, and data stores housing PII, complementing our technical discovery efforts. Leveraging NIST SP 800-122 methodology, we create a framework for identifying systems sharing PII and verifying proper authorization protocols. This assessment includes impact analysis of PII sharing within and beyond corporate environments, with relevant privacy laws mapped to identify compliance impacts associated with data flows.

Data Governance & Management for Data Privacy
VerSprite conducts comprehensive gap assessments against established privacy and security control frameworks, correlating with control mandates from state, national, and global privacy regulations. Building on our knowledge of PII data flows, we align your environments with regulatory requirements for safeguarding sensitive information.
Our service examines these critical privacy and data protection areas:
Data Classification
Our thorough review of data classification policies and their technical implementation helps organizations understand where and how security controls should be applied to meet privacy requirements as data importers or processors. We help establish consistent classification frameworks that support compliance while enabling business operations.
Data Retention Policy Reviews
Improper data retention practices significantly increase organizational liability and overall data risk. Many organizations lack properly defined retention periods, making sensitive data unnecessarily accessible to both internal and external actors.
Without legitimate business justification for data availability or retention, companies face increased liability for safeguarding and privacy compliance. VerSprite evaluates data retention policies and practices by leveraging our data discovery capabilities to map PII sources to your organization’s retention policies, identifying gaps and recommending improvements to minimize risk exposure.
Data and Privacy: Legal & Regulatory Compliance Readiness
Privacy regulations increasingly impact organizations that mismanage the authorization, use, and security of PII. Global privacy laws, particularly GDPR, present significant challenges to multinational corporations that may lack visibility into PII locations or appropriate security controls.
VerSprite’s legal and compliance readiness services include:
Data Privacy Shield & Privacy Program Reviews
Many organizations operate without formal data privacy programs defining internal and external policies for PII management. VerSprite not only reviews or helps develop appropriate PII policies but also evaluates whether your privacy programs adequately prepare for or adhere to global privacy frameworks such as the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks.
Our privacy program reviews and guidance services account for:
- PII scope under management
- Data flow patterns
- Exposure levels
- Evolving legal precedents
We analyze legal cases across jurisdictions (state, federal, international) to develop strategies tailored to clients across various industries and data exposure levels.
Legal Contractual Reviews
We sample vendor contracts and client MSA agreements to assess regulatory risk exposure and identify potential legal risk transfer opportunities. Working alongside partner legal firms with expertise in international privacy law, we provide comprehensive analysis of privacy considerations in vendor and client contracts.
Model Clauses & MSAs: Our analysis determines whether risk acceptance in MSA terms may exceed the scope of services provided by your organization.
Security Clause Review & Gap Analysis: We identify whether specified security controls or assurances can be fulfilled by your organization, particularly regarding contractual clauses in frameworks such as EU Model Clauses and HIPAA Business Associate Agreements.
