Testimonials about PrivCom 

"You all were able to make the initial steps in better understanding Privacy Requirements very accessible. I thought it was an excellent presentation that really allowed us, in the Non-Profit Sector, to share our concerns and potential struggles. Great work - much appreciated.."
