BDO's Global Data Privacy Insights - 2023

Privacy and data protection legislation continues to evolve across the world. Recent
developments, like the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, China PIPL, and the shifting
landscape of U.S. privacy laws has organisations of all sizes struggling with staffing,
process, and technology to manage their global privacy and data protection
programmes.


BDO publishes an annual Privacy Insights Whitepaper, Global Privacy Resources
Guide, and PrivacyWatch® as three complementary resources that allow
organisations to stay abreast of changing regulations and laws.


While most organisations recognise the importance of data privacy compliance, they
struggle with operationalising the privacy programme to effectively address the
global patchwork of privacy obligations. Compounded by the increase in security risk
due to cyber-attacks and ransomware, it is more important than ever for
organisations to enhance and maintain their data protection and privacy compliance
programmes. BDO’s DPO-as-a-Service and Data Protection Managed Services
(DPMS) offer right-sized solutions to address global data protection compliance.


Privacy professionals must maintain up-to-date knowledge of their organisation’s
obligations, along with a network of trained peers, to effectively manage privacy
compliance. BDO’s Data Protection Academy enables professionals to address their
organisation’s privacy challenges. As an official training partner of the International
Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), the Academy’s trainers provide education
regarding privacy principles and compliance for data protection professionals.


This whitepaper focuses on data privacy regulatory insights around the globe and
how BDO helps our clients to address the complex and dynamic data protection
landscape.
