JWT Privacy is now offering contract on demand  "turn key" privacy officers for firms in need

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - June 6, 2022 - PRLog -- Momentum over privacy concerns is taking hold, as more countries, provinces and states are implementing privacy regulations. If the current trends continue, it's predicted that 75% of countries will have privacy regulations in place before the end of 2023. Meanwhile, jurisdictions that already have regulations in place continue to bolster their rules and regulations, attempting to stay current with technology and surveillance advancements.

Despite this, Privacy and Data Protection is something most businesses still don't fully understand. Along with being a legal requirement in many places, customers are beginning to understand and flex their privacy rights, preferring to do business where they believe data privacy and data protection is a priority.

JWT Privacy Group President Nigel May says businesses are taking note. They are beginning to see strong privacy policies as good for business, not just a government requirement, and are preparing themselves. There has been a significant increase in job postings for compliance related duties. Larger companies are creating entire departments to deal with the complex and evolving challenge of achieving and maintaining compliance.

Outsourcing is a viable solution for mid size and smaller businesses. This enables them to set up and manage the personal information organizations collect, store, share and process.  Along with making sure you are privacy compliant, it will also make your business more secure, more trustworthy and more efficient.

This may seem like a large mountain to climb. It may also seem like something that isn't a priority given the myriad of challenges to the economic re-start.  Businesses don't have to solve everything at once. Start by understanding your essential compliance requirements. That will help you plan to take the bigger step of incorporating the management of personal data into everything you do.

Privacy is not a passing fad. It's here to stay and the regulatory environment will only become more complex and restrictive. Just like taxes, it's time to consider privacy as a business requirement and incorporate the necessary processes and education into daily operations.
