Accenture believes five principles of corporate digital responsibility—stewardship, transparency, empowerment, equity and inclusion—can turn potential risks into opportunities for business differentiation and growth.
But increasingly customers are concerned about who is doing what with their data. Governments are rewriting the rules to protect privacy. And watchdogs are stepping up their scrutiny of data practices.
Businesses collect massive volumes of data from individuals, using it to personalize customer offerings, innovate products and diversify into new markets.
How can organizations preserve and even increase the potential of personal data?

Q: What are the key benefits your company realizes from the use of personal data?

Business use of personal data at risk
There is a crisis of trust in data security
Customers will not do business with companies they do not trust with their data. Yet more than half of our survey respondents agree that their businesses are not doing enough to build trust with customers over use of their data.
Customers are demanding a data dividend
Individuals are finding ways to gain greater benefits from allowing companies to use their data. Nearly 60% of our survey respondents from products and manufacturing companies report that their customers are actively monetizing their own data, bringing an end to “free” data collection.
Customers are acting on their privacy concerns
67% of survey respondents believe that their customers are taking measures to protect data privacy (e.g. opting out of some services). This could compromise the amount and quality of personal data that businesses can use.

Business use of personal data at risk (con’t)
New technologies and startups are helping more people go “off grid”
Internet services and mobile devices designed to protect online footprint are growing. This trend could reduce the quality of customer data as well as the speed at which businesses can analyze it.
Regulation is changing the rules of data collection
Governments are stepping up their regulatory response to concerns over data privacy. In 1993, four countries had data-privacy regulation—by late 2013, this number reached 101.
Watchdogs are increasing the scrutiny of business data practices
A number of independent organizations are scrutinizing how businesses manage personal data. By publishing scorecards and awards for ethical data handling, they can help customers make more informed decisions.

Q: Over the next three years, to what extent will the following strategies be important ways in which businesses can strengthen their reputation for the responsible use of data—and to what extent is your company already taking action in each of these areas?

1. Digital stewardship
• Compile and maintain a company-wide data inventory to record key assets, levels of sensitivity anddata owners.
• Establish clear data-governance structures with board-level responsibility.
• Put a company-wide, locally tailored data-protection policy in place with business-unit champions and regular employee training.
• Conduct regular resilience tests to model the impact of cyber-attacks, and put contingency plans in place.
• Assess and monitor suppliers’ data-handling standards, updating procurement rules as needed.
Five steps to get startedFostering a culture of stewardshipMicrosoft has long been running campaigns around customer data privacy and trustworthy computing. Following the NSA revelation, Microsoft further introduced tools to encrypt data and sign certificate in the cloud.
Co-creating secure platformsAmerican Express, Discover, JCB, MasterCard, UnionPay and Visa developed a new payments system that uses tokenization (converting a credit card number into a unique value that, by itself, holds no value).
Driving standards across the ecosystem
The Cyber-security Information Sharing Partnership is a joint industry-government initiative that provides a forum for companies to share knowledge on cyber breaches.
