Data has become one of the most valuable assets for organizations across industries in today’s digital age. Data collection, processing, and storage are central to daily operations, from personal information to financial records and intellectual property. However, with the increasing amount of data being generated and shared globally, the risks associated with its mishandling, loss, or unauthorized access are more significant than ever. Data privacy is not just about meeting legal obligations; it’s about safeguarding individuals’ interests while fostering trust and protecting the organization’s reputation. The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and cybersecurity teams are pivotal in implementing, managing, and monitoring data privacy programs within organizations. While data privacy may be seen as primarily a legal or compliance issue, cybersecurity teams ensure data protection from external and internal threats.
