Tool name: Horizon

Privacy Culture was founded in 2018 by Steve Wright with the mission to become on of the world’s first privacy software companies to help large companies embed and measure a culture of privacy.

PCL provides clients with the ability to understand their privacy risk position both from a people, process and legal perspective, benchmarking results against external metrics in days, not weeks. ​

​

PCL offers relevant jurisdictional risk-based recommendations and specific training modules to improve privacy culture, maturity and reduce risk exposure. This approach saves times, helps efficiency and ensures organisations embed a culture of proactive privacy compliance. 

Recognising that one size does not fit all, PCL developed the Horizon Platform which allows clients to calculate their privacy positions in one click, understand their employees’ culture of privacy, and measure and report on their privacy maturity levels.
