A Data Privacy Framework is the only solution

132 countries have Data Privacy laws, with over 12 countries currently drafting new legislation.

Data privacy framework

Scale efficiently with ‘continually evolving’ data privacy needs

Organisations continue to adapt their ways of working and change how they process data. In a world of global regulations, escalating and more prominent data breaches, and increased technology and data generation, operating a data privacy framework is the only option. 

One-off Projects Insufficient

Many organisations initially stand up one-off projects to focus on addressing the foreseen gap to demonstrate compliance with relevant data privacy laws.

These projects are crucial to gain traction, make both design principles and policy decisions, and implement the relevant technical and organisational controls. However, many organisations then do not transition into a continual control framework, leaving the investment to wither on the vine.

Data privacy requires ongoing investment
