Speaking of compliance, earlier in this report we mentioned that there were some laws that ought
to affect a greater percentage of respondents than respondents actually indicated. That said,
there’s no question that most organizations recognize that they may be required to comply with
several rather different laws. Indeed, for the 32.5 percent who reported that their organizations fall
under the guidance of international privacy and security laws, some of the requirements are contradictory and the problem of being compliant with all the requirements at once becomes highly
complicated, if not impossible. The question arises, therefore, whether all the regulation causes
more problems than it solves.
