31 Days to More Effective Compliance Programs

One Month to a More Effective Compliance Program Through Data Analytics: Day 10 – The Impact of Privacy Regulations on Compliance

What is the impact of privacy regulations on data-driven compliance? Every CCO must be aware of the importance of privacy in data-driven compliance and the challenges and tradeoffs involved in implementing effective compliance strategies. A key mandate is for CCOs and compliance professionals to have a compliance program that provides visibility into their data. This emphasizes the importance of having efficient and effective compliance solutions in place or as I have previously noted CCOs must have access to their compliance data literally at their fingertips.

This is one of the drivers for key trends shaping compliance technology in 2025 and beyond. The RegTech market is growing rapidly, and there is increased regulatory focus on cryptocurrency activities, ESG, and information security and cybersecurity. These trends indicate the evolving landscape of compliance and the need for organizations to stay updated and adapt their compliance strategies accordingly. By embracing connected compliance and leveraging technology, organizations can navigate the complex regulatory landscape and ensure compliance with privacy regulations while driving business efficiency.

 Three key takeaways:

  1. CCOs and compliance professionals must have a compliance program that provides visibility into their data.
  2. ESG regulations affect not only regulated industries but also any company holding private customer data or involved in large supply chains.
  3. By embracing connected compliance and leveraging technology, organizations can navigate the complex regulatory landscape and ensure compliance with privacy regulations while driving business efficiency.
