What are your alternatives? Hire a consultant A consultant offers the possibility of a bespoke solution, but they’re expensive, their quality can vary and they’ll never know your business as well as your own people do. A consultant may also ask you to buy additional software tools to support their work. And when they’re gone, their expertise is also gone. Speak to a lawyer They may know the law, but they can be frighteningly expensive! Plus, they’re unlikely to know enough about your business and their ideas and solutions could be more ‘legal’ than ‘practical’. Solve it with software Some software can help, but there’s no software solution that can do the whole privacy job for you. Unlike the hub, most software needs someone who knows privacy law and how to use the software, plus it can be expensive to implement. Do it yourself If you’ve got the time and the enthusiasm, you can have a go at tackling privacy compliance yourself. There are a lot of free resources on the internet, but it’ll require a huge commitment to learn and implement everything, without really knowing if you’re doing it right. Employ somebody Finding the right person can be difficult. They can be very expensive to recruit and retain. They’ll need privacy expertise and be able to motivate your staff to embed a culture of privacy within your organisation.
