Fractional DPO designation, GDPR and HIPAA compliance, multi-state privacy law programs, DSAR management, and data mapping. Hands-on execution across 19 U.S. state laws and international frameworks.
19 U.S. states have enacted comprehensive privacy laws. GDPR applies to any organization processing EU residents' personal data regardless of where the organization is located. HIPAA's privacy requirements apply to every covered entity and business associate. The regulatory landscape has permanently expanded — and for most professional services organizations, it did so faster than their compliance programs could respond.
A Data Protection Officer (DPO) is required under GDPR for organizations that process personal data at scale or process special categories of data as a core activity. Axiom Sovereign provides fractional DPO designation and operation for organizations that require a named DPO but do not need a full-time hire. Your fractional DPO is available for regulatory inquiries, DSAR oversight, supervisory authority interactions, and ongoing compliance management.
For organizations that do not require a formal DPO designation, Axiom Sovereign provides equivalent privacy leadership as part of vCISO or privacy program engagements — fulfilling the operational role without the formal designation.
Complete inventory of personal data: what you hold, where it lives, who can access it, legal basis for processing, retention periods, and third-party disclosures. Required under GDPR Article 30.
Documented procedures for access, deletion, correction, portability, and opt-out requests. Intake workflow, verification process, response templates, and a DSAR log. Meets GDPR (30 days) and CPRA (45 days) deadlines.
Gap analysis against all applicable state privacy laws. Priority order based on enforcement risk and operational impact. Policy and notice updates across all applicable jurisdictions.
