Guardians of trust: Why Data Privacy Week matters for SA businessesThe consequences of failing to prioritise data privacy can be severe.
We often trust companies with our most personal information – only for it to end up in the wrong hands. The digital world means that data flows and data breaches can cause lasting damage; “trust” has become the currency of successful businesses. That’s why Data Privacy Week, observed globally from 22 to 28 January, is now a call to action.revealed that 88% of local organisations have experienced at least one security breach, with 90% of those being targeted multiple times.
The consequences of failing to prioritise data privacy can be severe. Financial losses, legal penalties and reputational harm from breaches and cyber attacks can undermine years of progress. By embedding robust data privacy measures into daily operations, businesses can mitigate these risks and create a foundation of trust that supports long-term success.
