Despite facing more scrutiny than many businesses, a new report has revealed that thousands of finance, insurance and accounting firms could be facing fines from regulators for mishandling customer data. According to new research amongst 500 marketing leaders by data company fifty-five, more than two in five (43%) finance businesses have not yet implemented consent management platforms (CMPs). These are essential for managing consumer data and preferences under GDPR.Nearly half (48%) of those who have not implemented a CMP say their company does not believe it is necessary – but these platforms are critical for the proper management of consumer data and cookies.Despite this, 16 per cent of businesses in the sector say that one of their most significant concerns is receiving a fine from the Information Commissioners’ Office for a data breach. This is almost three times as the average (6 per cent) who have the same concern in other sectors.While many businesses are still lagging behind, high levels of regulation in the finance sector – and this fear of fines – do mean that more businesses are compliant than in other sectors. With a 46 per cent implementation rate, the sector is third after the IT and retail sectors (51% and 49%), and significantly above the UK average of 36 per cent.Richard Wheaton, Managing Director at fifty-five, said: “Respect for the customer’s privacy is at the heart of all financial companies’ principles.
