There isn't, especially for small companies. Also, it starts with recognizing that it's not their data, it's user's data.

Do most small companies have a CIPP/E or privacy lawyer (or someone who has equivalent training/experience) on staff? We know statistically that not only don't they, but they can't, because there aren't enough of them out there. And if you don't, you'd better have an insanely simple business, because otherwise you're not going to come close to compliance.

You can _obviously_ come into compliance without an on-staff privacy lawyer.

I know a lot of companies that think they have, and most of them are wrong. Some are deeply wrong.
