Deep Dive - Privacy Compliance Enforcement

Why Privacy Compliance Enforcement?

Data collection is an integral part of all marketing and advertising activities. Organizations leverage this data to optimize ad campaigns, personalize site experience, and gain insight into users’ behaviors and interactions with their brand.

However, these activities have fallen under scrutiny as public concern regarding data privacy has emerged, saddling businesses with new requirements while they try to maintain their existing marketing agility. Not meeting these requirements can result in serious fines and legal costs, while severely damaging brand reputation. 

The new privacy regulatory environment imposes requirements onto marketers and website owners such as:

Consent - Various privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA/CPRA introduce consent requirements, where businesses must provide users the ability to provide or revoke consent on data collection.

Enforcement - Businesses must enforce customized consent requirements based on region, sector, and user preferences, while ensuring that any technology used is relevant and has a contractual relationship with the organization.

Audit Trails - Businesses should maintain records of consent activities as well as enforcement data for regulated sessions to preserve a defensible posture.

The Damage

Privacy regulation has become so expansive that it’s hard to keep up.

Over the past five years, privacy legislation has significantly increased globally in terms of scope, jurisdiction, complexity, and penalties. 

The introduction of complex legal requirements for data collection and processing, has driven organizations to seek quick-fix consent collection cookie banners, or consent-management platforms (CMPs).

But “quick fix” consent management tools leave orgs with a crucial gap: The lack of ability to enforce consent requests with 3rd party tags and maintain records of enforcement, which creates massive exposure.

The cost of ‘compliance gaps’ is immense and set to increase dramatically. Between 2020 and 2021 the number of GDPR violations increased by 113.5% and the number of GDPR fines grew by 594%.

Governments are taking the gloves off, and brands are now exposed to massive penalties. Businesses across all major sectors have begun receiving significant penalties.

However, the biggest price of all is loss of customer trust, potentially leading to loss of business opportunities, revenue, and potentially larger legal consequences.
