Protecting data from theft and improper use has long been the domain of cybersecurity and IT executives. But today, this is also a very real concern for the C-suite and, in many cases, the board of directors, all of whom are well aware of the repercussions of a data breach and failing to comply with regulations.

Regulators want to see transparency and controllability within organizations because that makes them trustworthy from a data privacy and security standpoint. Ideally, organizations deploy systems that provide compelling evidence to support their claims that they are meeting their requirements to deliver the protection and performance needed by stakeholders.
