Organizations continue to increase the amount of customer data they collect, store, process and distribute. The databases that store this information are valuable assets for the organization and lucrative targets for cybercriminals. World governments have developed robust laws and regulations, such as the US Privacy Act of 1974, to protect customer privacy. The concepts of “due care” and “due diligence” are legal terms that governments use to ensure organizations are taking appropriate actions to protect the private data they have on their networks and ensure that they place customer safety and privacy rights ahead of profits.

  • Privacy Rights
  • Due care
  • Due diligence
