As organizations seek to improve the consumer experience, and secure the competitive advantage associated with brand trust, it is crucial they leverage consumer personal information assets in the most appropriate way. With the increasing take-up of cloud computing, and the globalization of systems, processes, and supply chains, coupled with the proliferation of social media and mobile devices, more consumer data is being collected, retained, disclosed, and transferred around the world.
This, in addition to the constantly evolving nature of organizations due to mergers and acquisitions, organizational restructuring, new system implementations and the complex, changing legal and regulatory landscapes, has resulted in privacy becoming one of the tougher challenges currently facing organizations.
To minimize risks, and the amount of time it will take to meet new regulations, organizations first need to adopt a fresh mind-set on navigating the risk landscape. To accomplish this the following should be considered:
