Hello, Nice to Meet You!

I'm Vincent Renaud, CIPP/e, CPIM, founder of Octoguard Consulting, and I'm thrilled to be your trusted guide in the realm of data protection. With nearly two decades of experience, I've had the privilege of advising international businesses on harnessing the power of their data, seamlessly blending commercial success with regulatory compliance.

My journey wasn't always focused on data protection; I started my career in the dynamic world of digital marketing. However, my deep-rooted passion for all things related to data, whether it's analysis, insights, or acquisition, led me to explore the fascinating realm of data management.

Transitioning into the field of data protection and earning my CIPP/e (Certified Information Privacy Professional - Laws and Regulations) and CIPM (Certified Information Privacy Manager - Operations) certifications felt like the natural progression. I like to say that I went "from generating revenue through the use of data to protecting revenue through the better use of data."

I firmly believe that achieving data protection compliance isn't just a tick-the-box exercise or a black and white approach. It's about striking that delicate balance between risks and rewards, and that's where I come in.

My mission is to help you navigate this intricate landscape, ensuring your data practices not only comply with regulations but also drive your business' success. Let's embark on this journey together and find the sweet spot where data protection meets profitability.
