Managed data governance and compliance for small and medium businesses in Florida.
Data Governance for SMEs is a managed consulting practice that helps small and medium businesses in Florida meet US federal and Florida-specific data governance and privacy requirements. Diagnostic, implementation, and ongoing compliance management, delivered bilingually in English and Spanish.
Florida's Information Protection Act (FIPA) requires breach notification within 30 days, with fines up to $500,000 per incident. Federal frameworks add layers: GLBA for financial data, HIPAA for health, FCRA for credit information, COPPA for minors, and the 2024 American Privacy Rights Act (APRA). For Florida SMEs, compliance is no longer optional. It is a precondition to serve regulated clients, government contracts, and enterprise customers.
Diagnostic (4 to 6 weeks): full data inventory, FTC five-principles risk assessment, gap analysis against FIPA and federal regulations applicable to your sector, baseline privacy policy, prioritized compliance roadmap. Implementation (8 to 12 weeks): governance policies and procedures, role assignment (Data Owner, Steward, Custodian), cloud configuration on AWS Lake Formation, IAM, CloudTrail, and Macie, 30-day breach response plan, team training, and vendor contract templates. Managed Compliance-as-a-Service (recurring monthly): ongoing monitoring, regulatory-change alerts, quarterly KPI reports, incident response support, annual policy refresh, and a Virtual Data Privacy Officer (vDPO) as your dedicated point of contact.
Medical and dental practices (HIPAA). Law firms and CPAs (GLBA, FCRA). Real estate and mortgage brokers (FCRA, GLBA). Hospitality and retail with loyalty programs (FIPA).
