Data Privacy & Protection
The laws governing privacy have been changing almost as long as the field of privacy itself. They vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, are often interpreted in unpredictable ways, and are in a constant state of flux. Even the most well-oriented, conscientious company can make a false step when capturing, processing, transferring, and disclosing personal information. The current regulatory climate, with so many regulations being enacted or strengthened, has had a significant impact on both small and large businesses. Understanding what must be protected, the increasing number of data breaches, and the resulting fines when those regulations are violated are all part of the current privacy landscape.
