Many privacy and data protection Regulators around the world have written guideline papers that promote the building of a privacy management program. However, these guideline papers do not address how to resource the building and maintaining of privacy management throughout the organization. Privacy offices grapple with the challenge of finding enough resources to allocate for privacy management.
The challenges include communicating organizational privacy management, leveraging and motivating individuals throughout the organization, and justifying the business case to obtain the necessary resources. Even then, how to best allocate the available resources to maximize privacy management has historically been more of an art and less of a systematic approach. Whoever is assigned the responsibility for privacy in the organization, be it the Privacy Officer or an individual with some other title, that person has the initial challenge of asking “Where do I start?”
