Advisory practice

A Data Protection Officer, on subscription.

Most Zimbabwean controllers do not need a full-time DPO. They need a named, qualified DPO embedded into the business on a quarterly cadence, paired with a system that holds the evidence. We provide both.

01What you get

Stewardship, not consultancy. Renewal earns the year before.

A consultant audits and leaves. The custodian stays embedded, runs the programme on a regular cadence, and signs off on the compliance posture in their own name. We earn renewal by being the reason last year’s audit was quiet.

  • Months 1–3

    Foundation programme

    RoPA built from the operating reality, not from a template. Vendor register populated. Privacy notice generated and reviewed. First DPIA on the highest-risk processing.

  • Quarterly

    Standing review and sign-off

    A scheduled review with a named DPO. Findings written up against controls, owners, and dates. A signed compliance statement the customer can put in front of a regulator or board.

  • On call

    Incident and breach response

    When the 72-hour clock starts, a DPO is on the line. Form DP3 prepared, regulator notified, customer notification copy drafted, and the timeline recorded as the audit trail.

03Engagement

How an engagement starts.

A 90-minute working session against your control catalogue and your last audit. We bring Custodian GRC live, mapped to your frameworks. You bring the open items. We leave with a starting plan, named owners, and the next thirty days written down.

Pricing is engagement-led. Standing retainers start at USD 1,500 per month for Tier 2 controllers and scale with the size of the programme. The Custodian GRC platform is included.
