Advisory
Amit takes on privacy engineering advisory engagements at companies where privacy is a regulatory or trust-critical requirement rather than a checkbox. The work draws on the same playbook he used in privacy engineering work at Snap and Amazon: translating regulatory exposure into engineering systems your team can actually own and maintain.
- Privacy posture review. An expert assessment of where your product, data, and vendors introduce regulatory and trust risk. The same cross-organizational risk mapping used to reduce sensitive data processing and mitigate major regulatory exposure at Fortune 500 companies.
Deliverable: a prioritized findings memo your leadership can act on in 30 days.
- Privacy program design. Build up the risk assessment workflow and engineering best practices that scale beyond manual reviews. The playbook behind 5x improvements in review efficiency.
Deliverable: a documented process, owner map, and rollout plan.
- Privacy engineering controls and observability. Concrete code and platform-level controls for data lineage, sensitive-data processing, and privacy regressions. This is the surface Amit is automating at Centaur Privacy.
Deliverable: a controls catalog tied to your stack, with monitoring and drift detection in place.
