The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and the US Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) are driving encryption projects across industries according to the findings of the new 2009 Encryption and Key Management Benchmark Survey conducted by research firm Trust Catalyst on behalf of Thales. Findings show that in Europe 52 percent of the organizations surveyed are planning encryption projects to comply with PCI DSS. In the US, 53 percent of the organizations surveyed are planning encryption project to comply with HIPAA. In both cases, these drivers cut across industry verticals showing the broad impact of data-specific regulations to safeguard the privacy of consumers. However, continuing the trend from the 2008 report, organizations continue to be at risk with only 43 percent using database encryption and 41 percent using tape encryption. These two data sources are at the core of every enterprise and are responsible for many of the well-publicized data breaches.
