Behind the Firewall ft. Suzette Corley
by Morgan Prost / August 26th, 2026
Have you ever looked at a compliance project and thought, “Where do I even begin?”
One client kept putting off their GDPR and privacy work. Not because they didn’t care, but because the scope felt overwhelming. Every time the project came up, there seemed to be a reason to wait.
Our Senior Privacy Auditor, Suzette Corley, didn’t push harder. Instead, she acknowledged the challenge and reminded them that compliance gaps aren’t failures, they’re simply a starting point.
During visit week, she helped break the work into manageable pieces, making the process feel achievable instead of intimidating. When the client stalled in the Online Audit Manager, Suzette jumped on a call and worked through the requirements with them, answer by answer, upload by upload.That small act of guided accountability changed the trajectory of the client completely.
Audits are hard, but progress rarely comes from applying more pressure. It comes from creating small wins, building momentum, and showing up when someone needs support.
At the end of the day, a great audit partner doesn’t just identify the gaps. They help you close them.
Audits are hard, but progress rarely comes from pushing harder. Creating small wins and showing up when someone hesitates sets a successful audit apart from a begrudging one.
