Why is Data Protection Important?
Data is invaluable. Businesses, hospitals, financial institutions, the government, and every other industry are highly dependent on the data they collect, transmit, store, and maintain. Simply put, data runs operations and is required to successfully meet business needs. And with emerging privacy regulations, such as the GDPR and CCPA, organizations are now held accountable to a higher degree for handling and protecting your data. To continue to operate, organizations must implement a privacy program, which is typically adopted into the security program.
Information Security vs. Data Protection
However, oftentimes, information security and data protection are perceived as one in the same. With this mindset, data protection and privacy safeguards are unfortunately not prioritized and not implemented properly or effectively.
Information Security
Protecting data through access control (physical or digital) to ensure data is not being modified, disclosed, or destroyed without authorization
Data Protection
Protecting the consumer's rights and respect to collect, process, share, and retain data, on behalf of the organization
It is imperative that we, as cybersecurity professionals, break this mindset. At Caplock Security, we are 100% focused on data protection. We understand the difference.
