Privicy Advisory Services has introduced an online app designed to manage data protection compliance for Caribbean businesses and Data Protection Officers (DPOs).

“Assura is a data protection compliance platform built for Caribbean businesses and DPO practitioners — covering T&T, Jamaica, Barbados, Cayman, Bermuda and Bahamas law,” Privicy’s Rishi Maharaj explained (https://getassura.app/)

The product is designed to manage Maturity Assessments, ROPA, DSR workflows, breach notification, DPIA, vendor management, and risk assessments.

While Trinidad and Tobago is distinctly behind the curve on legislative enforcement of data protection regimes, Assura is designed to adhere to Caribbean legal requirements and is functional for Jamaica, Barbados, Cayman, Grenada, Guyana and Belize.

Users can build a complete record of processing activities with a structured 5-step wizard. Map legal bases, data categories, retention periods, and third-party processors— all linked to the relevant jurisdiction’s requirements.

Build a complete record of processing activities using a structured 5-step wizard. Map legal bases, data categories, retention periods, and third-party processors— all linked to each jurisdiction’s requirements.

Log, route, and respond to all request types— access, erasure, restriction, objection, blocking, portability, and more— with statutory deadlines automatically calculated for each jurisdiction.

A structured 9-step workflow captures everything from the initial report through classification, root cause, risk assessment, and notification decision. Jurisdiction-specific timelines keep you on the right side of the regulator.

The TR²UST® Framework maps 34 foundational controls across six domains— Governance, Rights & Consent, Data Lifecycle, Information Security, Third-Party Management, and Incident Management.

Register all third-party vendors with full details— type, criticality, processing location, lifecycle stage, contract status, and risk profile.

“The Caribbean compliance space is growing, and I’m glad to be contributing to it,” Maharaj said.
