Major data breaches and privacy snafus occurring on a regular basis have made it obvious that having a robust privacy compliance program should be a prime concern for businesses. But a new report suggests that companies still have a long way to go when it comes to being privacy savvy.
Toronto-based privacy compliance software company Nymity Inc. surveyed more than 100 privacy professionals, most of whom are either in-house counsel or privacy officers and are working in the U.S., for its Privacy Pulse study.
Almost half of the respondents ranked building a privacy program as a top priority, and more than 70% said privacy has become an integral part of the overall strategy and planning for their firms.
