Digital Trust, an Australian Perspective: Corporate awareness and attitudes to consumer data

Consumer data is swiftly becoming an asset that is central to the efficacy of the Australian economy.1 Harnessing it effectively would create new economic opportunities, business outcomes, better informed decision making, policy development and innovation.2 Taking advantage of data to these ends will require appropriate attention to matters such as privacy, security and intellectual policy. This report presents the results of a survey conducted through the collaboration between the Governance Institute of Australia (Governance Institute) and the Commonwealth Scientific
and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO): Digital trust: Corporate awareness and attitudes to consumer data. This report comments on the findings of the online survey and provides insights from the complementary research that was undertaken, including a limited number of semi-structured anonymous interviews with Governance Institute members, and a review of the literature.
