Why is Data Privacy a hot topic?
2022 has seen some of the largest companies – including the largest private health insurer and a top two telecom company – be hit with devastating cyberattacks. These attacks have resulted in the exposure of sensitive information relating to millions of people, including their private health information, identity and credit details. This opens the door for identity theft and fraud but is a violation of privacy in the first instance. The severity of recent breaches has driven the government to accelerate and strengthen data privacy regulations to better reflect advancements in other jurisdictions.
From the introduction of GDPR in Europe to new regulations in California and other states, organizations are facing new challenges related to data privacy compliance all over the world. In addition, the number of data breaches has increased dramatically over the past few years, making regulatory risk more prevalent than ever.
