Audits and Assessments

Building an effective and comprehensive privacy program requires that all processes used and parties involved be up-to-date, efficient, and compliant with the various legal and regulatory requirements. This applies to a myriad of areas, such as ensuring that AI models are audited frequently to maintain a standard of processing that is free of bias, as is mandated by the New York AI Law, or ensuring that current privacy programs and practices—both internal and those of third parties—are methodically checked, revised, and upgraded to meet industry standards.

At Meru, we understand the importance of having privacy and AI programs and practices that are up-to-date, compliant, and operate seamlessly. We achieve this through our services of thorough audits and assessments.

Our auditing and assessment services team uses its vast knowledge and insights of the privacy landscape to cover various areas of the privacy programs, identifying critical and improvement areas, errors, inaccuracies and misalignments, and upcoming challenges.
