Data compliance is foundational for digital transformation success
Digital transformation is driving bold business operational changes. According to the 2023 Technology Spending Intentions research report from Tech Target’s Enterprise Strategy Group, 77% of organizations reported that they are in the process of digitally transforming their business.
An essential ingredient of digital transformation is a modernized technology stack that uses public cloud services for greater agility. In fact, 46% of organizations have now adopted a cloud-first policy for new applications.
The democratization of cloud resources has enabled organizations to scale and innovate quickly. Organizations have used proprietary, shared and public data in the cloud to build higher-value customer applications. While organizations have strategically and operationally benefitted from the cloud, cloud usage has created a data challenge for many. Data sprawl across clouds, data use across multiple applications, and data’s ability to transcend users have made identifying, cataloging and securing sensitive data difficult.
In addition, as a downstream effect of this trend, data compliance requirements that safeguard the handling and access to data have been put in place by various agencies. The burden of meeting these compliance requirements rests squarely on the enterprise, with significant fines and time-consuming audits for those that fall behind. So, while digital transformation might be the key to enterprise growth, meeting data compliance needs in this digital journey is the foundation of this success.
