Prioritizing data privacy
Take a proactive approach to data privacy that evolves with new regulations and emerging technologies to empower your business.
A global privacy revolution
Data privacy concerns dominate the cyber security sphere. Recent data breaches, and negative public reaction to them, have underscored consumer concerns about the personal information they share and the perceived misuse of said data.
When implemented in May 2018, the Europe Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) marked the beginning of global privacy regulations, but, new and emerging regulations in China, Brazil, India, and Russia have further complicated the digital global landscape. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which will become is effective on January 1, 2020, will is be the first state-level law to follow GDPR and focuses on many of the same principles. These new regulations encourage organizations to prioritize and maintain a dynamic data privacy program.
A proactive privacy posture
Building a privacy program from the ground up and keeping current with evolving compliance regulations can be a daunting task. A proactive, principle-based privacy posture can help enable the organization to manage intricate compliance efforts while also using data in a way that can enrich the customer experience.
