One of the most important factors for building an effective and sustainable privacy program is encouraging — even requiring — proactive collaboration between cross-functional stakeholders. Such collaboration should encourage innovative approaches to privacy risk management that support business initiatives without compromising security objectives or compliance obligations. And while developers and process designers can view privacy and data security as barriers to innovation, both privacy and security principles must be embraced in order to implement new solutions.

In this white paper get insight on the benefits of a positive-sum approach and operationalizing it in your organization.
