What SOPA does
- Provides a comprehensive assessment of your organization’s privacy program: reviewing policies, procedures, technical measures, organizational practices.
- Guided workshops with key stakeholders (legal, IT, privacy teams, etc.) plus document collection and fact-checking to ensure real-world practices are captured.
- Produces a Privacy Maturity Report with recommendations to improve your privacy program. There is also SOPA Plus which includes a summary for executives, deeper risk identification, and mitigation plans.
Why it matters
- Helps you move beyond just “checkbox compliance” by revealing weak spots you may not have surfaced.
- Gives leadership a clear roadmap — what you must fix, where to invest, and how urgent each improvement is.
- Helps inform which DPM modules to adopt first: once you know where your gaps are, you can prioritise relevant modules (DSR, ROPA, Data Removal, etc.) rather than guessing.
Key outcomes
- A clear, independent view of how mature your privacy operations are (both tech + process).
- Actionable recommendations matched to your organization’s reality.
- Executive-friendly summary + risk register if you choose SOPA Plus.
- Better alignment between stakeholders (legal, technical, process teams) because everyone sees the same baseline.
