As the number of privacy regulations worldwide continues to grow, organisations should focus on five privacy trends to help meet the challenges of protecting personal data and meeting regulatory requirements, according to the technology and market research group Gartner Inc.
"By year-end 2024, Gartner predicts that 75% of the world's population will have its personal data covered under modern privacy regulations. This regulatory evolution has been the dominant catalyst for the operationalisation of privacy," said Nader Henein, a Gartner analyst and vice-president.
"Since most organisations do not have a dedicated privacy practice, the responsibility for making these requirements operational is passed onto technology, more specifically security, under the umbrella of the chief information security officer."
