New research conducted by the IAPP has revealed the increasing complexity and transformative impact of new technologies on governance and regulatory mechanisms. As organisations navigate this evolving landscape, there is a growing emphasis on understanding and responding to digital governance.
The study found that C-suite leaders, particularly chief privacy officers, are taking on expanded responsibilities in areas such as AI governance (69%), data governance and data ethics (69%), and cybersecurity regulatory compliance (37%).
The trend is also being replicated at team levels. Privacy teams are gaining additional responsibilities beyond data protection (80%), of which more than half of privacy professionals are working in teams that have taken on AI governance responsibilities (55%), data governance and data ethics (58%), while a third are working in teams with cybersecurity regulatory responsibilities (32%).
The research indicates that organisations are actively seeking to define and implement internal structures that support digital governance, with a focus on domains, responsibilities, reporting lines, and the availability of tools to facilitate effective governance models.
