Need for privacy expertise way up, but budgets headed down in 2024
ISACA, a global association focused on security, governance, risk and privacy education surveyed more than 1,300 data privacy professionals on how their company was handling staffing and support for privacy. Key findings were that demand for technical roles is likely to increase, board prioritization of privacy is expected to hold steady, though more than half surveyed expected privacy budgets to decrease this year. Also consistent with last year is expert-level privacy professionals are the most difficult to hire.
