Garabyte Consulting is a boutique, female-owned data privacy firm based in Toronto. Founded by seasoned privacy professionals Monifa Brooks and Susie Hendrie, Garabyte helps organizations navigate the complex world of data protection with clarity and confidence.  Our mission is simple yet powerful: to turn privacy from a regulatory burden into a strategic advantage.  Privacy challenges vary widely across healthcare, finance, government, and technology, and our team has worked across all of them. With decades of combined experience, we’ve held dedicated privacy roles and shaped programs during pivotal moments in the industry’s evolution. We’ve influenced legislative interpretations, navigated Commissioner decisions, and worked on real cases that set precedents. When we reference rulings or guidance, it’s grounded in fact, not theory or AI-generated guesses. With Garabyte, you are getting real-world experience.   Our team brings deep, practical knowledge earned on the ground, not from a book.
