The IAPP presents its sixth annual “Privacy Tech Vendor Report.” In previous editions, the report examined the growth and trends of the privacy technology marketplace year over year. This issue, the IAPP lists 364 privacy technology vendors.

In the last six years, privacy tech has become a critical industry offering solutions for an ever-evolving global regulatory system that places a greater emphasis on user privacy. A key takeaway is that while the privacy tech industry has grown exponentially, it stands on the precipice of a fundamental sea change, facing possible consolidation and specialization geared toward specific customer solutions.

This year’s “Privacy Tech Vendor Report” finds the industry at a crossroads of sorts. As privacy has shifted from an afterthought to a necessity within the last decade, the conversation today regarding its place in product development has evolved from the abstract to the technical implementation of an array of solutions.

“Organizations are being much more specific in their needs, wants and desires. Likewise, their tolerance of solutions, which do not closely align with these expectations, is diminishing,” IAPP Chief Strategy Officer Mark Thompson, CIPP/E, CIPM, CIPT, FIP, said. “For the vendors that have ‘got it right,’ there is a clear opportunity to differentiate from the pack by showing an enhanced understanding of customer needs and how their products help solve these challenges.”
