Why Privacy Compliance Is A Challenge For Many Organizations | Prepare To Meet Varying Compliance Requirements | Part 2 | An Imperva Brand Story With Kate Barecchia

36 minutes

In the first episode of this two-part series, we looked at the history of privacy law and regulation and we explored how the definitions and requirements are expanding for the benefit of consumers and the impact and challenges they create for the business. We also dissected the differences between data privacy, compliance, and security and how organizations can determine what its data privacy posture will look like in comparison/contrast to its security posture.

In this second episode, we take a closer look at actionable strategies and steps organizations can take to operationalize data privacy compliance and how to leverage data privacy initiatives to create a stronger security posture. As we explore these challenges, we begin to uncover the realities of the increased complexity that comes with each decision the business makes to create, collect, store, process, and share sensitive information throughout multiple business systems, applications, and geographies. While there is a clear need to protect the data from being inappropriately accessed by authorized or unauthorized users, a better strategy can be found in the simplification of the business systems and processes thereby avoiding (or at least reducing) the exposure to compliance and security risk.

Whatever the drivers are behind your business outcomes and IT operations decisions, having an outcome in mind for privacy and security will give you something to shoot for. Whether it's creating the strongest posture possible or simply checking the boxes for compliance, at least you know where you're going and can begin to head down that path. Clarity and consistency in action brings improved preparedness and increased confidence to the conversation, which leads to more positive outcomes all the way around.
