Summary

Although widespread adoption of personal identity and data management (PIDM) remains a few years away, the ecosystem of data lockers, digital identification tools, and authorization managers is already rapidly evolving. Firms ranging from traditional data compilers to platforms in lean startup mode funded by Silicon Valley are looking for ways to provide consumers with more control of their personal data and privacy — and a small number of firms are actually working toward a model that allows individuals to monetize their data. This report provides customer insights (CI) professionals with an overview of the emerging categories, how they fit within the PIDM ecosystem, and how they will affect the availability of consumer data. This is an update of a previously published report; Forrester reviews and updates it periodically for continued relevance and accuracy.
