Top 7 Data Privacy Challenges in 2024 and How to Overcome Them

Introduction

In 2024, data privacy continues to be a critical focus for businesses worldwide. With evolving regulations, advancing technologies, and an ever-increasing volume of data, the challenges of managing data privacy are more complex than ever. Below, we explore seven of the most pressing data privacy challenges businesses face today and offer strategies to overcome them.

1. Compliance with Global Data Privacy Regulations

Navigating the complex landscape of data privacy laws, such as GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California and DPDPA in India is a significant challenge. Each regulation has its own set of requirements, and non-compliance can lead to severe penalties and damage to your reputation.

Solution: Develop a robust data privacy framework that includes continuous audits, compliance monitoring, and adaptability to new regulations.

A global e-commerce company partnered with Nyusta to revamp its data privacy practices in light of GDPR. Our team built a compliance framework that ensured seamless adherence to GDPR regulations, strengthening customer trust and avoiding penalties.

2. Managing Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs)

Handling DSARs efficiently within legal timeframes is challenging, especially for companies managing large volumes of data. Mishandling these requests can result in non-compliance and customer dissatisfaction.

Solution: Implement a clear and automated process for tracking and managing DSARs, ensuring prompt and accurate responses.

Nyusta assisted a financial services firm struggling with high volumes of DSARs by automating the process and providing ongoing support, reducing their response time by 40% and ensuring full compliance.

3. Data Breaches and Cybersecurity Threats

The rise in cybersecurity threats poses significant risks to sensitive data. Data breaches can lead to financial loss, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust.

Solution: Strengthen your cybersecurity framework with advanced measures such as encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and regular security audits.

After a major data breach, a healthcare provider turned to Nyusta to overhaul their cybersecurity strategy, resulting in an 85% reduction in the risk of future breaches.

4. Data Retention and Deletion

Determining how long to retain data and when to delete it is a complex task, complicated by varying legal requirements across different regions. Proper data retention and deletion practices are critical to maintaining compliance and managing storage costs.

Solution: Develop a clear data retention policy aligned with legal requirements and implement automated deletion processes to ensure data is not retained longer than necessary.

Nyusta worked with a multinational firm to streamline their data retention and deletion policies. By implementing automated processes, they ensured compliance and reduced storage costs by 30%.

Solution: Establish stringent data sharing agreements and conduct regular audits of third-party vendors.

Nyusta partnered with a multinational corporation to review and strengthen their third-party data sharing agreements, mitigating risks associated with vendor-related data breaches.
