Causes
At this point, a person could be overwhelmed and ready to throw their laptop. Chances are good that you are either overwhelmed with information or underwhelmed with the majority of organizations' seemingly ineffectual efforts at compliance. Depending upon the time of day and/or mood, you could be a little bit of both —and those feelings are all valid.
Organizational failures
The unfortunate reality is that most organizations attempting to operate in their traditional departments are not set up to be successful in today's business world. No matter the flood of tools, methodologies, solutions, and frameworks being marketed, without a core understanding of the underlying disconnect, all are doomed to varying levels of failure.
No, this is not doomsday speak, and I am not suggesting that anyone throw in the towel. Instead, this is another opportunity to paint a picture that we all know too well. Hopefully, in so doing, the Regulation and the violations experienced by these organizations will serve to illustrate that deeper need for change to mindsets and begin to connect those silos.
Is this intentional?
In a first pass of the previous posts, you may be imagining a cartoon villain, twirling his moustache, plotting the next sinister scheme for innocent users.
You might be at a loss as to how an organization can get something simple, so wrong, repeatedly. You may have read these posts and assumed that these organizations have a blatant disregard for data and user privacy policies and rights —and that may very well be true for some.
But in reality, does anyone truly believe that these companies have so much money and so little respect for their users that they are throwing caution to the wind and making no effort at all towards these safety and data privacy regulations?
Is it at all possible that they are trying everything that they have always done, but are now getting undesirable results, and they don't know what to do?
Can/should we assume best intent?
