Privacy, AI and cyber governance people can put into practice.

Email PrivaCore

An experienced advisory team for Canadian organizations.

From requirement to routine

Requirement Privacy obligations, audit findings, policy commitments, responsible-AI goals
Governance Clear owners, proportionate controls, workflows and evidence
Practice People who know their role, using processes that fit the work

Change and adoption support runs through every step.

Who we help

Mid-sized and regulated Canadian organizations, across sectors, that:

handle personal information
depend on vendors and cloud services
are introducing AI into their work
need to close privacy, control or audit-remediation gaps

Services

Governance advisory that turns obligations into working practice.

Advisory, governance and change work. PrivaCore does not provide legal advice, penetration testing, security monitoring, incident forensics or technical implementation, and works alongside your legal counsel, IT and security teams, and providers.

Privacy governance & operations

Build a privacy program your teams can actually run, aligned to the privacy laws that apply to your organization.

PIPEDA
Québec Law 25
GDPR
CPRA
HIPAA

Privacy-program assessments
Policies and standards
Personal-information inventory and governance processes
Privacy impact assessment workflows
Retention practices
Vendor privacy risk
Privacy incident readiness

Governance and operational support—not legal advice. We work alongside your legal counsel on interpretation.

GRC, cybersecurity assurance readiness & third-party risk

Get controls, evidence and supplier oversight ready for scrutiny—and close the gaps in a practical order.

SOC 2 readiness
ISO/IEC 27001 readiness
NIST CSF 2.0
NIST SP 800-63B

Control-gap reviews
ITGC and audit readiness
Evidence expectations
Access-control governance
Supplier-risk processes
Risk and exception tracking
Remediation plans
Governance reporting

Readiness and governance support. PrivaCore does not issue attestations or certifications, or perform penetration testing, monitoring or forensics.

Responsible AI governance

Get ready to use AI with clear accountability and sensible guardrails.

EU AI Act
NIST AI RMF

AI use-case inventory
Governance roles and accountability
Privacy and risk screening for AI use
Policy and control workflows
Human-oversight practices
Responsible adoption

Governance readiness and operationalization—not AI audit or technical model validation.

Change management & adoption

What helps the rest take hold. Governance only works when people use it, so adoption is planned alongside privacy, cyber and AI work—not bolted on at the end.

Stakeholder and readiness planning
Communications
Role-based training
Workflow integration
Adoption follow-through

Linked to the privacy, cyber and AI governance changes above—not general project management.

Readiness & Governance Packages

Scoped packages for common starting points.

Advisory and readiness work, tailored to your organization. Packages help you prepare for audits, assessments and regulatory expectations; they do not guarantee certification, an audit opinion or compliance.

Privacy

Privacy Program Readiness

A review of privacy governance, policies, personal-information inventory, privacy impact assessment processes, retention, third-party privacy risk and incident readiness.

You receive: a prioritized gap summary with owners and practical next steps.

PIPEDA, Québec Law 25, GDPR or other laws are referenced only where they apply to your scope. Not legal advice.

Assurance readiness

SOC 2 Readiness & Controls Remediation

Preparation for a SOC 2 engagement: scope and control mapping, evidence expectations, gap tracking, control-owner coordination, remediation planning and adoption support.

Where your services could affect customers’ financial reporting, SOC 1 readiness is available for those controls.

PrivaCore does not issue SOC reports. An independent CPA firm performs the attestation and issues the report.

Assurance readiness

ISO/IEC 27001 Readiness

Information security management system (ISMS) gap assessment, control and evidence planning, remediation coordination and implementation support.

PrivaCore does not issue ISO certification. An external certification body makes the certification decision.

Cybersecurity

NIST CSF 2.0 Cybersecurity Profile

Define your current and target profiles, identify priority gaps, and build an improvement roadmap with accountable owners. Where identity and authentication are in scope, controls are reviewed against NIST SP 800-63B.

NIST CSF 2.0 is a voluntary framework and NIST SP 800-63B is guidance; neither is a certification.

Responsible AI

Responsible AI Governance Foundation

Inventory AI use cases, clarify accountability, identify privacy and governance risks, develop proportionate policies and review workflows, and support responsible use through stakeholder communication and training—aligned to the NIST AI RMF and, where it applies to you, the EU AI Act.

Not an independent AI audit, legal opinion or technical model validation. The NIST AI RMF is voluntary; EU AI Act obligations should be confirmed with legal counsel.

Adoption

Change & Adoption Support

Stakeholder readiness, communications, role-based training, workflow changes and adoption follow-through, built into privacy, GRC, cybersecurity and AI-governance work. It is how controls become everyday practice—not project administration.

Packages are tailored to the organization’s scope and delivery needs. Where specialized implementation, independent testing, audit, legal advice, or certification is required, roles are agreed with appropriately qualified external providers.

How we work

Four plain-language steps.

Understand

Your obligations, commitments and current workflows—how work actually gets done today.
Assess

Risks and gaps in practice, controls and evidence, and which ones matter most.
Design

Proportionate governance, controls and workflows—with a change plan for the people who will use them.
Support

Implementation, training and adoption, with follow-through until the new way of working is routine.

Why PrivaCore

Practical governance, grounded in regulated work.

Experience in regulated environments

Our team’s background spans privacy governance, cybersecurity controls, IT audit and data governance in financial services, aviation, telecommunications and other regulated settings.

Governance and adoption together

Privacy, controls, responsible AI governance and change and adoption, brought together so the result accounts for the people who have to use it.

Built to be used

Clear, usable deliverables—policies, workflows, registers and plans written for the people who will run them, with a focus on implementation rather than shelf documents.

About

An experienced team, built for regulated work.

PrivaCore Group is a Canadian advisory team that brings privacy, security governance, audit and change expertise to the same table. Our experience spans close to two decades in financial services, aviation, telecommunications and other regulated environments.

The team has hands-on delivery experience across SOC 1 and SOC 2 readiness, ISO/IEC 27001, the NIST frameworks and AI regulation—paired with the change-management discipline that gets new controls adopted, not just documented.

Every engagement is led by senior practitioners from scoping through adoption. You get experienced people doing the work, and governance that is proportionate, clearly documented and used by the teams who rely on it.

PrivaCore Group is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, penetration testing, security monitoring, incident forensics, attestation or certification.
