Privacy management in-house is often out of scope for smaller teams
Like many non-profits, The Futures Project has a small and dedicated team working on various initiatives. For an organisation of this size, data privacy is simply too complex to focus on in their daily work. “The field of privacy is very vast. To really feel on the safe side with everything we are doing, we needed the expertise of a company like DataGuard.”
Internal resourcing is also a struggle for non-profits, charities and think tanks. With her team driving various projects such as the Impact Fellowship Programme, Dr. Stamm knew that nobody on the team would have the time to focus on privacy topics. “It wasn’t feasible for us to have a full-time person, or even a part-time person, taking care of privacy in-house,” says Dr. Stamm. “Outsourcing our privacy management was the most cost-effective and sensible option.”
