Regulations are having an impact: 96% believe regulations for data protection are creating a need for better data privacy tools
Current tools fall short: 91% agreed that current privacy and consent tools, such as check boxes and cookie acknowledgements, will not be able to adapt to the needs of the emerging digital economy
Data privacy needs to be an organisation-wide mandate: Most respondents agreed that Legal, HR, and Marketing need to be part of the data privacy conversation
