With new privacy laws coming online throughout the U.S. and significant changes already being made to California’s landmark law, organizations face tremendous challenges staying abreast of this constantly changing legal and regulatory landscape. What’s more, these changes implicate a wide range of roles within an organization from the strategic risks that the C-Suite must consider to the specific legal and compliance requirements and technical controls necessary to implement them.
Beyond a rapidly evolving legal and regulatory landscape in data privacy, we are seeing a gap between demand and supply. ISACA recently conducted a privacy survey and found, “a major gap in skilled resources in the market and the need for professionals to upgrade their data privacy and protection skills.” The report concludes that this will drive demand for privacy professionals but emphasizes that anyone seeking to land these jobs needs “to upgrade their skills in the field of compliance and data privacy to meet the growing demand of the market.”
