Data is one of the most valued and targeted assets across all industries and organizations, which is why it is critical to know how to effectively manage and protect it. With the technology and regulatory landscape constantly changing, the methods organizations take to protect the privacy of data should also constantly evolve. 

An effective data privacy program can be a business differentiator within your market and industry. By being transparent with your data practices, answering customer concerns upfront, along with the ability to show that employees with access to customer data are regularly trained, will collectively help gain and retain customer trust to differentiate your business amongst competitors and in-turn speed up the sales cycle.
