Privacy & Data Protection |
The challenge
Organisations have to strike a balance when it comes to data protection and privacy. Information assets must be used effectively and efficiently for the organisation to be successful. However, there is a complex range of standards to meet, both in terms of regulatory requirements and arising from customer and employee expectations. It’s a constant balancing act to make sure that the information’s value is realised while ensuring stakeholders such as customers, markets an regulators remain satisfied.
The privacy and data protection balancing act is complicated by a host of issues including:
- The globalisation of business operations and technical integration
- The extension of the traditional enterprise
- Outsourcing and off-shoring
These are complex and potentially conflicting influences on data protection and privacy. The ramifications of failed privacy and data protection can include compromised brand and lost customer trust, regulatory scrutiny and penalties and missed opportunities and squandered resources.
