In May 2018, IAPP and TrustArc surveyed 328 privacy professionals around the globe and asked them a series of questions about each of 10 categories of privacy technology, as identified in the IAPP’s annual Privacy Tech Vendor Report. The results provide illuminating benchmarking data about what technology is truly in use vs. what technology is still far from mainstream.
Further, it’s clear that certain technologies are truly the domain of the privacy office, while other tech that might be vital to a contemporary privacy program is generally handled by and operated out of the infosec or IT departments.
