Introduction to Data Privacy Legislation
As cyber-attacks and data security breaches become more frequent in today’s digital landscape, multiple countries are seeking to install more stringent regulations for organizations that handle sensitive customer data from each region. This legislation affects all organizations that collect any form of sensitive data including names, addresses, browsing histories, and anything else that could potentially be used to identify or discriminate against a customer. In this blog post, we’ll provide a high-level overview of the common standards to which each new legislation will hold organizations conducting business in their region, as well as what steps organizations can take to become compliant, using GDPR and LGPD as examples.
