The Hidden Costs of Manual PII Handling:

• Time Burden: Compliance officers spend 15-20 hours weekly manually reviewing and scrubbing data
• Human Error Risk: Manual processes lead to inconsistent PII identification and increased exposure to data breaches
• Workflow Bottlenecks: Critical data sharing delayed by lengthy compliance review processes
• Regulatory Exposure: Inconsistent standards across teams increase risk of non-compliance penalties

With fines reaching up to 4% of annual revenue under GDPR and similar regulations, the financial risks of improper PII handling are substantial. Meanwhile, the opportunity cost of delayed data access impacts business agility and decision-making across the organization.
