With the growth in data privacy laws—which we’ll talk more about in a moment—companies are endowing their chief privacy officers with more power and responsibility. As part of that movement, chief privacy officers increasingly report directly to their CEOs.

That means that those CEOs will no longer be able to deny firsthand knowledge of their organization’s data policies reasonably. If a company is collecting personal data from customers or visitors and using or selling that data, the CEO who’s been meeting with the chief privacy officer for years will not be able to claim plausible deniability about those actions.

Companies need to have clear and transparent data policies that are—you guessed it—archived in a non-rewriteable format to prove what they did with data and how they advised customers of their rights and responsibilities concerning their data.
