As firms face a growing list of data protection regulations and customers become more knowledgeable about their privacy rights, developing a data privacy competence has never been more important. Sustained compliance delivers a number of benefits, but firms with reactive and siloed privacy tactics will fail to capitalize on them.

Forrester Consulting evaluates the state of enterprises’ data privacy compliance in a shifting regulatory landscape by surveying global enterprise decision makers with responsibility over privacy or data protection. This report analyzes how they are evolving to meet the heightened data protection and privacy expectations of legislators and consumers, along with the benefits they can expect from a holistic data privacy approach.

This white paper highlights how organizations can adopt a next generation data security strategy that bridges security technologies deployed across heterogeneous and highly distributed environments. Organizations are lacking a centralized view of their data security risk posture, compounded by the complexity of managing security across distributed environments. This lack of visibility results in an ineffective way of prioritizing alerts and assessing the business impact of lost or stolen data assets. Taking a holistic approach affords organizations a comprehensive view of existing security risks to sensitive data.
