Consulting
Decades of enterprise transformation. Applied to your data and how you govern it.
Our consulting practice brings the operators who led digital transformation and enterprise security at Microsoft, Google, Starbucks, Alaska Airlines, T-Mobile, Volkswagen, and Meta directly to your organization's most critical data, AI, governance, and infrastructure challenges.
Why us
We build the infrastructure we consult on.
Most consultancies advise. We operate. DataBillity runs a production-grade consented data clean room, API Platform, and an AI-powered platform that serves live customers, and we govern it to the same standards we advise on. Our recommendations come from the same team that built and maintains this infrastructure every day.
Operators, not advisors
Our consultants build and maintain production data systems. The team that runs your engagement is the same team that runs the DataBillity platform.
Enterprise pedigree
Microsoft. Google DeepMind. Starbucks. Alaska Airlines. T-Mobile. Volkswagen. Meta. Splunk. F5.

Full-stack capability

Governance that holds up

Practice area 03
Governance, risk & compliance consulting
Most organizations manage three things separately: what their systems actually do, what their policies say, and what regulators require. Every engagement starts with a discovery conversation to understand your current state, followed by a structured gap assessment that finds where those layers disagree. Then we close the gaps before an audit, due diligence review, or incident finds them first.
