GDPR Services - Global Market Trajectory & Analytics

Global GDPR Services Market to Reach $3.9 Billion by 2026

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) represents a new data protection legislation that was implemented in the EU in May 2018. The regulation standardizes a comprehensive spectrum of privacy legislations across the region into a central suite of regulations to protect users across all member states by providing more control to EU citizens over the personal data. GDPR applies to every organization operating in the EU as well as enterprises that are located in other regions but serving European customers with their services and goods. Effectively, a large number of international organizations are required to comply with GDPR guidelines. GDPR rules are applicable to processors and controllers of data, including cloud service providers. Data specified as personal by the GDPR framework includes name, picture, address and other type of sensitive data like sexual orientation, genetic data and biometric data. The legislation requires companies to perform privacy impact assessments, document use of personal data, seek customer permission for data usage and communicate authorities about data breaches. The regulation is legally binding and can`t be ignored or opted out. The regulation empowers and protects all citizens of the EU, while keeping organizations accountable for data-related actions.

The increasing connectivity and continuing digitization across organizations have resulted in generation of exponential amount of data. People visiting websites or places or even making calls are leaving a digital footprint as data, which is a precious and highly valuable resource that can be exploited by companies to communicate with customers and delivering an enhanced user experience. However, the precious nature of personal data also makes it vulnerable to misuse or theft, raising concerns over the way companies store and use the data. The issue results in privacy and data security concerns for customers. There is a notable disconnection and gap between customers, their data and the way companies collect or use it. The situation is further compounded by lack of understanding regarding best practices and existing laws pertaining to use of personal data. Furthermore, existing data privacy legislations in the EU are outdated, fail to offer effective protection to customers and don`t cover considerations for smart phones, social media and advanced web technologies like virtual reality and artificial intelligence. The pressing need to regulate management of consumer data while policing organizations collecting, storing and using the data led to the birth of GDPR.
