Today, several key trends are driving the demand for data privacy software:
- The proliferation of data privacy regulation around the globe means more organizations than ever will need to comply with stricter and wider-reaching requirements for collecting and processing personal data. In the US specifically, five states will be live with new privacy laws in 2023, up from just one in 2022, and several more states have passed new laws.
- Previously defined frameworks are being updated, such as the European Commission’s final Adequacy Decision for EU-US data transfers.
- With widespread generative AI adoption, understanding and managing data privacy risks within AI will be essential to promoting responsible AI, complying with AI regulations, and ensuring people’s data and privacy rights remain protected.
“The value of understanding your data, where it resides, and how to manage it responsibly cannot be overstated,” said Ojas Rege, GM Privacy & Data Governance Cloud, OneTrust. “This is why data privacy has emerged as a competitive differentiator for our customers, transforming compliance efforts into trust initiatives.
