A recent Isaca survey reveals that over 40% of European privacy professionals feel their organizations are inadequately funding data privacy efforts, with 54% anticipating budget cuts in 2025. Despite GDPR's implementation, only 38% of respondents are confident in their organization’s data protection capabilities. Moreover, only 24% follow privacy-by-design principles, heightening their compliance risks. Staffing shortages in privacy roles further exacerbate these issues, with many reporting increased job stress. However, organizations adopting privacy-by-design practices are faring better, enjoying more stability and reduced skills gaps.
Isaca found that only 24% of European organizations were adhering to privacy-by-design principles, risking significant non-compliance with GDPR and evolving EU regulations.
66% of European professionals working in privacy roles say their job is more stressful now compared to five years ago, worsened by continued underfunding.
