Findings from the field: Consent audits reveal top five CMP policy gaps and root causes

Brought to you by Feroot Security

Most organizations believe their consent management platform is doing its job. But a CMP can only tell you what your consent policy says, not whether that policy is actually being enforced on every page of a website or every screen of a mobile app in real time. That gap between stated policy and actual user-facing behavior is exactly where regulators, plaintiffs' attorneys and class-action litigators are now looking.

Drawing on findings from hundreds of independent consent audits, this session pulls back the curtain on the five most common CMP policy gaps organizations don't know they have, including scripts firing before consent is captured, stale or misconfigured banners, and third-party trackers that ignore user preferences altogether.

Feroot Security CEO Ivan Tsarynny will break down the root causes behind each gap, share real-world examples of how these failures have led to regulatory fines and litigation under the EU General Data Protection Regulation, California Consumer Privacy Act and other privacy frameworks, and outline the concrete, practical steps privacy and security teams can take to close these gaps before they become enforcement actions.

Whether you're responsible for privacy compliance, website governance or security oversight, you'll leave this session with a clear picture of where consent enforcement typically breaks down, and a roadmap for verifying it doesn't happen on your own digital properties.
