Trust doesn't show up in just one place in your business. It shows up in how people find you, how your website feels, how you communicate your practices, how safely you handle information, and how responsibly you use the tools that run your operation.
DRG works with a small, intentional group of partners: a compliance and advisory network we call on directly for client work, partners who share our focus on experience, transparency, and safety, and a direct affiliate whose tools extend what we do. These are not referrals. We look for alignment in how we approach the work: clarity over complexity, practical over theoretical, and always with the client's best outcome in mind.
"When we bring in a partner, it's because they add something specific that complements what we're already doing, not duplicates it. And because there's alignment in how we think about what's best for the client."
Fellow practitioners across privacy law, AI strategy, governance, and risk. These are the people DRG works alongside directly: for client programs, specific projects, and when the work requires deeper specialist expertise. A mutual referral and collaboration network built on shared values.
Acorns AI Consulting works with businesses to assess how AI is running on and around their website and tools: from what drives traffic to how services are delivered, and whether it's building or quietly breaking client trust. They identify gaps, recommend the right tools, and support implementation based on how the business actually works.
DRG identifies where AI creates trust gaps in the client journey. Acorns AI goes deeper, evaluating your current setup, building a roadmap, and supporting implementation. The shared starting point is your website; the work expands from there.
Fischer Law helps businesses understand what they're actually required to do, and what they should do, when it comes to privacy, data practices, and client-facing legal communication. Practical, plain-language counsel without the enterprise price tag.
When DRG surfaces legal gaps, policies that don't match how a business actually works, or client-facing language that needs proper legal grounding, Fischer Law closes them properly.
DOPI LLC works with organizations in regulated environments to strengthen operations, reduce risk, and prepare for AI. Their work spans data classification, business process optimization, and GRC strategy.
DOPI brings governance and process depth that complements DRG's trust advisory work, particularly for clients in regulated industries or government-adjacent contexts who need more than a compliance checklist.
These partners work in the same key areas where trust is built or lost for small service businesses. Different specialties, same priorities.
How people interact with your business, from the first impression to every touchpoint along the way.
The HCD Experience applies human-centered design principles to how small businesses show up to their clients, from first impression through every touchpoint. Where DRG identifies where trust is being lost, HCDx has the methodology to help redesign the experience so it earns it back.
Trust gaps in the experience layer are often design problems. DRG identifies what's going wrong; when the work calls for it, HCDx comes in, centering the actual human on the other side of your business.
How clearly and confidently you communicate about your data practices, policies, and how you handle client information.
Papaya scans your website for cookie consent compliance and privacy gaps, showing what's actually running on your site and where your consent setup falls short. It's the tool privacy experts use to audit websites before clients or regulators do.
DRG uses Papaya as part of website audits, surfacing consent and cookie issues that are easy to miss but matter to clients and regulators. Businesses can also run it themselves to get a quick, honest picture of where they stand.
How you protect your business systems, client data, and digital infrastructure. Safety is about having practices in place that hold up if something goes wrong.
Partners who work within specific industries and learning contexts, bringing the kind of sector knowledge that shapes how trust gets built with particular audiences, communities, and client types.
MyQuest is a learning platform built around guided, action-oriented journeys, designed so that learners actually complete and apply what they're being taught. It provides a structured delivery layer that turns insights into trackable progress.
When the work calls for a structured implementation journey, guided, measurable, and something a business owner can move through at their own pace, MyQuest is the platform we turn to.
A direct affiliate partnership built around the same trust framework DRG uses, applied specifically to your website, giving you visibility and management tools that complement the advisory work.
Data Pilots builds tools that give small business owners direct visibility into their website trust signals: the privacy notices, contact forms, conversion points, and client-facing details that shape whether a visitor stays or moves on.
DRG identifies what your trust gaps mean for your growth and client relationships. Data Pilots gives you the website-specific tools to see those gaps clearly and address them directly.
