Using surveys from more than 1,300 data privacy experts from the U.S. and Europe, NewtonX found that while 89% of respondents said their companies have scraped user data, the majority (58%) do not have strategies in place to deal specifically with data scraping.

Here are some other key findings of the whitepaper, which also provides recommendations for data extraction prevention:

  • 87% of respondents said preventing scraping of user data is important or very important relative to other security issues.
  • 89% of respondents said their organizations have scraped user data.
  • 70% of organizations have incident plans in place related to data scraping, but only 42% have strategies dedicated to handling or preventing data scraping.

NewtonX’s survey was sponsored by Meta, the parent company of Facebook.
