Data privacy regulations are evolving constantly and rapidly. Enterprises and their legal teams spend millions of dollars and countless hours trying to manage compliance. This convoluted process is further complicated by the continuous stream of new rulings emanating from states including California, Virginia, Colorado and others, as well as far greater focus on data privacy from U.S. and international regulatory bodies. This has resulted in fines being imposed more frequently, and in historically high amounts. For example, in Q1 of 2021 alone the EU's General Data Protection Regulation issued fines totaling nearly €1 billion — 20 times greater than the totals for Q1 and Q2 2021 combined.

In some organizations, active contracts can number tens or even hundreds of thousands, yet the wording of any new or adjusted contract document must be scrutinized for compliance with the most up-to-date regulations. With vast volumes of fine print for constant review — an average of three billion words in typical Fortune 500 company contracts — there's more incentive than ever before to find ways to avoid diverting excessive resources to keeping contracts compliant.
