DataProbity is a boutique management consulting practice, specializing in privacy risk management. It was founded in 2004 by Michele Drgon, former Chief Privacy Officer at Motorola who created Motorola's global privacy program while she was Director of Standards, and then Senior Director, Data Protection/Privacy.

DataProbity is a recognized standards leader, actively participating in the development of privacy and security standards in new technology areas through NIST, Cloud Security Alliance, OASIS, among others. We have co-developed standards for wireless technologies, cloud computing, Internet of Things, big data and application microservices. Since 2016, Michele Drgon has acted as liaison expert to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27, where she has been collaborating with other global experts to develop the new global privacy and security standards for emerging technologies including AI, digital twins, smart cities and IoT.
Michele was a co-editor of the new global privacy engineering standard, ISO/IEC 27561:2024 - Privacy operationalisation model and method for engineering (POMME) which provides a structured methodology to define and operationalize requisite privacy and security controls, particularly across complex and interconnected data-sharing ecosystems. POMME enables a consistent and standardized approach to showing demonstrable compliance with Privacy by Design and privacy engineering principles. DataProbity is actively driving an initiative to raise awareness to this and other privacy engineering standards.
