What We Do

Practical, experienced consulting across data strategy, analytics, governance, and AI — delivered by a practitioner who's done the work at every level of complexity.

Data Strategy & Governance

For organizations that need to establish order, accountability, and trust in their data.

Good data governance isn't bureaucracy — it's the infrastructure that lets your organization move faster and with greater confidence. Without it, data quality erodes, decisions get made on bad numbers, and compliance risk quietly accumulates.

Harborside helps organizations define what "good data" looks like for their context, then build the processes, ownership structures, and documentation standards to achieve and sustain it.

What this includes:

  • Data governance framework design and implementation
  • Data quality programs, testing plans, and exception analysis
  • Policy and process documentation aligned to regulatory requirements
  • Data ownership, stewardship, and accountability models
  • GAGAS-aligned data quality procedures and compliance monitoring
  • Strategic workforce and data planning templates

Business Intelligence & Reporting

For teams that need visibility into operations and the ability to act on what they find.

Most organizations have data. Few have visibility. The gap between raw data and the dashboards leadership actually trusts — and uses — is where Harborside does its best work.

We design and build analytics solutions in Power BI and Tableau that translate complex operational data into clear, actionable reporting. We work directly with stakeholders to define the right metrics, validate the underlying data, and deliver dashboards that earn adoption.

What this includes:

  • Power BI and Tableau dashboard design and development
  • KPI definition, metric selection, and stakeholder alignment
  • Earned value, cost, schedule, and operational reporting
  • Executive and leadership reporting solutions
  • Dashboard adoption support, training, and documentation
  • Power Automate workflow integration and automation

Data Management Consulting

For complex, regulated environments that need technical rigor and audit-grade assurance.

Regulated industries — healthcare, pharma, federal government, financial services — can't afford data that doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Harborside brings the audit analytics discipline and control testing expertise to ensure your data processes are accurate, defensible, and documented.

With experience delivering in GAGAS, HIPAA, and SOX environments using tools including ACL, SQL Server, Power Apps, SharePoint, and Microsoft Access, we bring technical depth to engagements where it matters most.

What this includes:

  • Audit analytics and automated testing routines
  • Data validation, exception analysis, and fraud analytics
  • Internal controls design, testing, and documentation
  • Data extraction, transformation, and conversion accuracy testing
  • Continuous compliance monitoring platform development
  • Requirements gathering, UAT, and post-implementation support

AI Governance Advisory

For organizations navigating responsible AI adoption — before it becomes a compliance problem.

Generative AI is moving faster than most governance frameworks. Organizations that adopt AI without guardrails face real risk — model drift, data privacy exposure, audit failures, and decisions made on outputs no one can explain or defend.

Harborside brings a risk-grounded, data-management perspective to AI governance — drawing on active study in AI architecture and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework to help clients assess use cases, identify control gaps, and build responsible adoption programs.

What this includes:

  • GenAI use case assessment and risk evaluation
  • Human-in-the-loop control design and documentation
  • AI governance framework aligned to NIST AI RMF
  • Model validation principles and AI/ML risk concepts
  • Responsible AI operating model development

Note: AI governance advisory reflects active professional development. Engagements are scoped accordingly and delivered transparently.
