Apparently most of enterprises don't, at least based on this survey, called "Safeguarding the Currency of Business", where they found that "71 percent of organizations queried said they did not have an accurate inventory of where personal data for employees and customers is stored".

This has strong implications (among other things ...) from a privacy perspective, in particular from a consent and revocation management angle - as also currently highlighted in a recent HP Labs report of ours ("On the Management of Consent and Revocation in Enterprises: Setting the Context").

Hopefully we will explore how to tackle some of the related issues in the UK TSB EnCoRe project.
