IBM Consent and Privacy Policy Management, Part 1: Building privacy into your design.

Enterprises today are collecting more and more data, and the data being collected is more sensitive than ever.  While this data can be a gold mine for enterprises that want to better understand their customers and offer enhanced services, it also represents a huge risk.  If this data is stolen or used inappropriately, the business and its brand are at stake.

The goal of the IBM Consent Management technology is to simplify consent for enterprises and provide users with more control over how and when data is used. The IBM technology allows enterprises to automatically monitor, audit, and enforce privacy policies; increase control and visibility; build end-users’ trust so more data is likely to be shared, and use real-time monitoring to identify risks before damage occurs.
