About Us
We are a full-service privacy consulting firm. Founded in 2006, MPC provides strategic guidance to Fortune 10 privacy programs and outsourced CPO services to 10-person physicians’ offices. The more difficult the privacy challenge – such as healthcare, cloud computing, or European compliance – the more value we add for you. Think of MPC as your privacy SWAT team. Ask us for a ballpark estimate to include in next year’s budget. You might be surprised. → Learn More

Assessments
Conducting privacy assessments is MPC’s core competence. We measure your privacy status against any privacy or security regulation or standard. Our most popular are HIPAA and Safe Harbor assessments. Using our HP-IAPP award-winning Privacy Maturity Model and its companion Security Maturity Model and HIPAA Maturity Model, we provide you quantified and scaled measurements that can track your progress over time and benchmark against peers. → Learn More

Remediation
Do you have a list of gaps from your OCR audit or FTC consent decree? Do you have to make a number of improvements before filing for the Safe Harbor or bringing in your PCI QSA? Save time inventing solutions from scratch and lean on our library of accumulated templates and experience. MPC will document your policies for data privacy, security, or records management, help change business processes, and implement procedures. If your organization has never maintained a formal privacy program, we will build a foundation for you that you can grow over time to match your budget constraints and business needs. → Learn More

Managed Services
MPC’s first contract was to provide outsourced CPO services to a software company that didn’t need to hire a full-time privacy leader. Since that first engagement, we’ve added more like it. Software and medical-device start-ups are our most common users of the retained CPO. For Fortune 500 companies, we also offer managed services in the areas of privacy regulation monitoring, annual privacy training requirements, outsourced vendor-assurance management, and privacy staff recruiting and augmentation. → Learn More

Privacy Metrics Pool
Our flagship managed service is the Privacy Metrics Pool. In 2007, we conducted a three-year trial with twenty member companies who self-assessed themselves using the Privacy Maturity Model and Security Maturity Model, provided MPC their results, and received back the pool averages. We spent the next two years in product development, and are happy to announce the launch of the service. As a complimentary offering, we also offer one-day workshops to develop your Balanced Privacy Scorecard, a privacy metrics dashboard for executive reporting. → Learn More

Workshops
Are you looking for an infusion of knowledge into your privacy program without the time and cost of traveling to a conference? Do you want some quick deliverables without the cost of a consulting project? You may want to consider attending or hosting an MPC workshop. We’re currently developing a 2013 calendar of workshops in cities around North America on topics ranging from awareness campaigns and privacy by design to metrics and data inventorying. We offer a number of free passes to companies that host our workshops. Schedule yours today. → Learn More

Points of View
If you Google or Bing ‘privacy consultants’, you’ll probably find us on the first page of hits. This is because of a decade of articles, presentations, and studies that MPC and the MPC president have released into the public square. We’ve assisted with several IAPP member surveys and the IAPP’s landmark A Call for Agility: The Next Generation Privacy Professional. In 2005, the MPC president won the highest competitive essay contest in the privacy profession, the Morrison & Foerster Barbara Wellbery Award, for his proposal for an international Safe Harbor. If you read our body of work closely, you’ll notice recurring themes: simplifying the complex, quantifying the intangible, and making privacy practical. → Learn More
