Client Story October 21, 2024 Enhancing Consent Management with OneTrust Protiviti and OneTrust helped a global software and IT solutions provider enhance its consent management processes, ensuring regulatory compliance. Read more Our comprehensive approach to data privacy Data privacy regulations are in flux globally. Even as companies put the finishing touches on extensive preparations to comply with applicable privacy laws, such as the European Union’s GDPR, Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), and California’s Consumer Privacy Act(CCPA), new regulations continue to be introduced in other countries. As legislators pass new laws, they continuously amend those already in effect. Data privacy regulations are not static.The problem and proposed solutions are complex and evolving. One thing is almost certain—anyone aiming to comply with a specific regulation with a target date in mind will be disappointed as those near-term obligations are supplanted by new and different rules over the mid and long-term.In response to this changing landscape, Protiviti applies a holistic framework that addresses the fundamental aspects of data security and privacy without being locked into any one specific compliance format. We focus on the most pressing data protection issues companies face, including:Developing strategies to address global data privacy regulationsCompliance with regulatory obligationsAddressing resource and skill shortagesOperationalising privacy needsImplementing data protection tools and remediation supportBy working ahead of the law in a comprehensive fashion, Protiviti helps build the foundations of a strong but flexible privacy program that includes understanding principles, educating stakeholders, and developing an applicable governance structure for managing changes. This base enables companies and their stakeholders to look to the uncertain future of privacy regulations with greater confidence. Leadership Sam Bassett Sam is the country leader for Singapore.
