Privacy professionals report being behind the 8 Ball getting GDPR compliance
Not for lack of trying, according to 1,000+ privacy professionals, but a vast majority of EU companies would likely be found out-of-compliance if a data protection officer showed up unannounced to check. In fact, 74.4% assumed there would be relevant violations at the average company, and 56% reported difficulties trying to convince higher ups to improve on compliance. And, according to advocacy group noyb, more than 32% even reported pressure from their senior management to limit GDPR compliance.
