In this episode, we discuss some of the laws designed to protect the privacy of personal information. Visit www.absolute.com/solutions/us... to learn more.
The most well-known is the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Under GDPR, an organization must demonstrate that security safeguards are active, up-to-date, and working effectively. Or risk substantial fines.
GDPR has set the standard for other regulations around the world, but Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) comes pretty close. Most notable with PIPEDA is the need to prove your security posture was airtight when the incident happened, not just whether data was stolen.
What about data privacy laws in the US? Well, we find laws such as HIPAA (for health information) and S-P and S-ID statutes for financial records, enforced by the SEC. There is also the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). But no national privacy standard. Yet.
Data Privacy is today's greatest challenge for IT and security teams, and with 35% of sensitive data out-of-sight on endpoints, there has never been a stronger need for persistent endpoint visibility and control.
