State of Privacy 2026
State of Privacy 2026 offers a revealing look into how privacy programs are evolving amid rapid technological change. Drawing on insights from ISACA’s sixth annual global survey, the report uncovers shifting dynamics in staffing, operations, privacy by design, and the growing influence of AI tools in day‑to‑day privacy work. As organizations grapple with expanding regulatory demands and an explosion of data‑collecting technologies, privacy teams are under increasing pressure to safeguard trust while navigating shrinking headcounts, rising stress and persistent skills gaps.
The findings highlight a profession at an inflection point. Privacy teams are smaller, technical roles are harder to fill, and confidence in meeting new regulatory requirements is slipping. Access this report to see how your organization and privacy team compares.
