The TrustArc ROI Report: Quantifying the Value of Privacy Performance

Is your privacy program a cost center or a value engine?

In 2024 alone, regulators issued fines totaling €1.2 billion under the GDPR. But for modern privacy leaders, the fear of fines is no longer the only driver. It’s about the cost of inefficiency.

If your team is buried in spreadsheets, email chains, and manual assessments, you aren’t just risking compliance; you are draining resources. A single breach settlement today can cost between $4.75 million and $6 million—an amount equal to 25–33 years of enterprise privacy platform costs.

It is time to change the narrative.
