Forrester developed a tool called the Data Privacy Heat Map to help clients address these challenges. Each country has been rated across seven key criteria, covering the breadth of law, EU adequacy, data transfer limitations, government surveillance activities, etc. Using the tool, one can quickly determine how various countries stack up against each another in terms of their data privacy standards. 6 out of the 54 countries do not regulate government surveillance, which can lead to rampant and uncontrolled surveillance activities. China and Singapore simply have not established privacy regulations sufficient to protect personal data residing within their borders.”]
