"Seventy percent of government programs report less than sufficient budgets to meet their privacy needs, according to a recently released study from the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) and Ernst & Young (EY).
“There are clearly still low budgets and a lack of staff resources for privacy programs at government agencies,” said Omer Tene, vice president of research and education at IAPP. “In comparison to the private sector, government is investing fewer resources, privacy budgets are smaller and people feel their career opportunities in this space are more restricted than they are in the private sector.”"
