IDC FutureScape: Top 10 predictions for the future of trust

International Data Corporation’s (IDC) top 10 predictions for the Future of Trust point to a new normal as the world continues to navigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizations – private sector, government, and educational institutions – have reached a digital transformation tipping point and are aggressively embracing digital-first strategies.

Data security, confidentiality, integrity, and availability are now key issues for all organizations, as is the imperative to use data ethically while complying with a complex web of industry and regional regulations. Organizations must also recognize – and be sensitive to – practices that pose risks to the environment and humanity. The sense of urgency is building on proactive delivery of all the elements of Trust – risk, compliance, security, privacy, and social environmental responsibility and ethics.

“Organizations’ futures are built on Trust and that is evident in IDC’s top 10 Future of Trust predictions,” said Amita Potnis, research director, Future of Trust at IDC. “Leveraging available security capabilities, adhering to privacy and data protection, increasing focus on environmental sustainability and social impact, addressing regulatory compliance, and stringently following a governance model that extends to business partners and suppliers will become integral to uplifting trust as a means of competitive differentiation.”
