As enterprises adopt GDPR requirements of privacy by design and default, there's an opportunity to win customer trust and build meaningful relationships through customer education around data privacy.

A July 2018 threat report from IBM X-Force Exchange revealed that threat group Magecart exploited unsecured third-party access to steal credit card details from Ticketmaster customers.

IT professionals often find their digital strategy is not keeping pace with the ongoing digital transformation. Accountability needs to be more broadly distributed to secure data adequately.

Recent research has shown that while consumers are demanding more transparency around information handling, few companies are doing enough to communicate with their customers about data privacy.

Organizations can fast-track their GDPR compliance efforts by focusing on three crucial areas: awareness and understanding; accountability and responsibility; and resources and support.
