Finding your customers' data can feel like a cat-and-mouse game. Modern privacy laws and regulations like the CPRA and GDPR have heightened the challenge for businesses to responsibly find, analyze, and protect their sensitive, high-value data.

However, many companies need the right framework to learn where all their data is and where to start. The loss of customer trust remains one of the top concerns for most organizations, increasing companies' need to implement a data trust framework for data discovery and protection. With data discovery, protection, and privacy software vendors often selling only parts of what is needed to ensure your high-value data is safe throughout its lifecycle, it can make the increasing challenges of privacy compliance feel impossible to tackle.

As we enter Data Privacy Week (January 22-28) and with the start of the new year, our Voltage team hosted its first CyberRes Voltage webinar on January 17, 2023. Our data privacy experts, Rob Aragao, Greg Clark, and Eric Popiel explored how and why privacy compliance can lead to innovation and growth. During this webinar, our speakers walked us through the role of privacy, the data trust framework, some recommended approaches and concluded with the business outcomes. 

One of the surprise highlights of the webinar was the analogy that our speakers used to compare the offerings of some data discovery vendors to when an outdoor cat brings you a mouse in your kitchen…

The cat feels like he’s bringing you a gift, but you are thinking: ‘’great, you caught a mouse, but what can I do with it?’’ The mouse might be dead, alive, or even a neighbor's pet, so what now?

As in this analogy, the most challenging part after discovery is to know what to do next with your data. The Voltage approach connects data discovery to insight, enabling effective action tied into your data's lifecycle, so you never have to wonder what's next. 

During Data Privacy Week, register for this on-demand webinar to learn why implementing a data trust framework can reduce the number of mice on your desk.
