Cisco’s new Data Privacy Benchmark Study shows that organizations that invested in data privacy suffered fewer data breaches in the past year. Nearly 60% of organizations have met most or all GDPR requirements, and close to 30% expect to do so within a year. GDPR became enforceable on May 28, 2018, imposing stricter rules on the control and use of personally identifiable information as well as giving users more control over their data. Firms that were readier had 79,000 files exposed, versus 212,000 in orgs less mature in their data privacy efforts.”]
