HewardMills

HewardMills was hired by an email marketing SaaS company to serve as their external data protection officer (DPO), a requirement of the European data privacy law. The scope of their involvement included ensuring legal compliance, assisting with understanding the European data privacy law, and implementing solutions to comply with it. The team of three, including two data protection and privacy directors and a consultant, worked closely with the company's global data privacy manager. Over the course of their engagement, which began in June 2018, the company invested between $100,000 and $150,000 in their services. The collaboration is ongoing, with HewardMills continuing to review and evaluate the company’s privacy policies and risk assessments.

In another project, HewardMills was engaged by a software development company to provide advice and guidance on compliance with global privacy regulations. The company, which manages high-value documents for attorneys, accountants, and financial professionals, needed to ensure compliance with complex privacy regulations like the GDPR. HewardMills conducted an assessment of the company's practices and policies, created an assessment report, and developed a remediation and work plan. They also advised on the company's website privacy notice, cookie management tools, and user notification processes. The software company contracted with HewardMills in May 2018 and recently renewed the agreement through the end of 2021. They continue to work with them on an ongoing basis, using their services 3-5 days a month to improve their practices and comply with all certification requirements.
