Key Points:

As this new study makes clear, organizations of all sizes are struggling to comply and stay current with todays fast evolving data privacy regulatory landscape.
With a raft of new state data privacy laws, along with a proposed Federal data privacy regulation looming on the horizon, data privacy leaders recognize the urgency of improving their compliance readiness yet still find themselves largely reliant on unsustainable manual and ad hoc procedures, said Ray Pathak, VP of Privacy at Exterro.
Consumers meanwhile have become more educated about their data privacy rights and increasingly will only choose brands that they feel can be trusted to safeguard their data.
Compliance Processes Remain Largely Ad Hoc: Close to half of respondents (44%) reported that they either rely on ad hoc or poorly defined processes for complying with data privacy regulations.
