Why the need for data privacy and protection?

  • Organizations grapple with a multitude of challenges in the realm of data privacy and protection. Navigating a complex landscape of ever-evolving regulations, the constant specter of data breaches, and the explosive growth of data itself pose formidable hurdles.
  • Balancing data access and security, managing third-party risks, adapting to data localization mandates, and embedding privacy into product design are demanding tasks.
  • Legacy systems, the rise of emerging technologies, cross-border data transfer complexities, supply chain risks, and the intricacies of data governance further complicate the mission to safeguard data and privacy in an interconnected world.
  • With the increasing digitalization of services, data breaches, and cybercrime risks, especially in the banking and financial services sector, data protection, awareness, and privacy has become an increasing need for entities.
