Privacy & Compliance
There is a lot going on around privacy and compliance, especially in Europe. This in itself is a good thing, because data should be adequately protected, especially if it concerns personal data. In practice, however, it turns out to be quite disappointing how well organizations do this. We read and write a lot about data breaches. Over the years there seem to be more rather than fewer of them. Is that because organizations don’t want to do better or can’t do better? Whatever the reason, a good policy on privacy and compliance is indispensable in the current era. Especially with all kinds of new legislation that has been introduced and is coming, the need to put this high on the agenda is only increasing.
