Privacy in Context
Privacy obligations don't scale down. A 40-person health-tech company faces substantially the same disclosure requirements as a Fortune 500 — without the privacy office, outside counsel on retainer, or the budget to build either. The market's answer has been the template generator: fill in a company name, receive a document nobody read, and nobody can defend.
Doxa exists because that gap deserves a better answer than a form.
Our Mission
To make rigorous privacy practice available to organizations that don't have a privacy department — and to give the professionals who serve them a faster path from question to defensible artifact.
Rigor and accessibility are usually traded against each other. We think that trade is a design failure, not a law of nature.
Our Approach
Privacy isn't secrecy. It's context.
Share a diagnosis with a treating physician — appropriate. Share the same diagnosis with an advertiser — not. Opposite answer. Identical data. The context decided it.
That's contextual integrity, the framework developed by privacy scholar Helen Nissenbaum, and it turns a gut instinct into something you can actually test. Every information flow reduces to five parameters: subject, attribute, sender, recipient, purpose. Your privacy notice either discloses them or leaves them ambiguous — and ambiguity is where enforcement actions start.
Doxa operationalizes those five parameters across three tools:
The Scanner
Evaluates a live notice against ten standard disclosure elements and returns a Disclosure Coverage Score. Free, instant, no account required. See your posture before you spend anything.
Notice Generation
Regulation-specific notices for CCPA/CPRA, CalOPPA, GLBA, and HIPAA, structured around the five parameters and citation-verified against source requirements.
Privacy Impact Assessment
Turns the framework inward. Maps your data flows, documents processing activities, assesses risk against contextual norms, and includes an AI module where automated decision-making is in scope.
Every notice is reviewed before delivery by an IAPP-credentialed privacy professional — CIPP/US, AIGP, CIPM, in the field. Automated analysis alone doesn't meet the standard we'd want applied to our own work.
Who Doxa Is Built For
Small & Mid-Sized Organizations
Carrying real obligations without a dedicated privacy function — where privacy sits with a general counsel, an operations lead, or a founder.
Fractional CPOs & Privacy Consultants
Who need repeatable, defensible artifacts across a book of clients without rebuilding the analysis each time.
Privacy Teams of One
Inside larger organizations, where the workload assumes a department that doesn't exist.
What Makes Us Unique — Our Values
Simplify Complexity, Don't Hide It
Plain language is a discipline, not a dumbing-down. We show you the diagnosis before the invoice, name what's missing in terms you can act on, and never mistake a longer document for a better one.
Technically Robust, Ethically Sound
Our detection methods are heuristic and point-in-time, and we say so on every scan. We disclose what our tools can and cannot see, because a privacy company that obscures its own limitations has already lost the argument.
Context Over Checklists
A checklist tells you whether a box is filled. Contextual integrity tells you whether the flow was appropriate in the first place. The regulations themselves — CCPA, GDPR, HIPAA — are context-specific by design. We built to match how privacy actually works, not how it's most easily automated.
Scope Discipline
Doxa is privacy risk management, not legal representation. We're not a law firm and don't provide legal advice. We help you see your disclosure posture clearly, document it defensibly, and recognize when a matter warrants qualified counsel — including when that answer is "now."
