Begun in 2007 in the European Union (E.U.) and adopted by the U.S. in 2008, Data Privacy Day is an international effort to encourage better protection of data and respect for privacy. It\u2019s a timely topic given the recent enactment of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Citizens and governments have grown concerned about the amount of information that organizations collect, what they are doing with the data, and ever-increasing security breaches. And frankly, they\u2019re right. It\u2019s time to improve how organizations manage data and protect privacy.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at some concrete steps you can take to begin that process in your organization. But first, a little context.<\/p>\n<h3>The data privacy landscape<\/h3>\n<p>Since Data Privacy Day commenced in 2007, the amount of data we collect has increased exponentially. In fact <a href=\"https:\/\/web-assets.domo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/17_domo_data-never-sleeps-5-01.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">we generate \u201c2.5 quintillion bytes of data per day!\u201d<\/a> Unfortunately, we\u2019ve also seen a comparable increase in security incidents. There were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.securitymagazine.com\/articles\/91267-9-billion-records-exposed-so-far-in-2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">5,183 breaches reported in the first nine months of 2019<\/a>, exposing a total of 7.9 billion records. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.securitymagazine.com\/articles\/91267-9-billion-records-exposed-so-far-in-2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RiskBased Data Breach QuickView Report 2019 Q3<\/a>, \u201cCompared to the 2018 Q3 report, the total number of breaches was up 33.3 percent and the total number of records exposed more than doubled, up 112 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response to these numbers, governments across the globe have passed or are debating privacy regulations. A few of the key milestones:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Between 1998 and 2000, The E.U. and the U.S. negotiated Safe Harbor, which were privacy principles that governed how to protect data that is transferred across the Atlantic.<\/li>\n<li>In 2015, the European Court of Justice overturned Safe Harbor.<\/li>\n<li>In 2016, Privacy Shield replaced Safe Harbor and was approved by the courts.<\/li>\n<li>In 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect in the E.U.<\/li>\n<li>On January 1, 2020, CCPA took effect for businesses that operate in California.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Last year, GDPR <a href=\"https:\/\/alpin.io\/blog\/gdpr-fines-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">levied 27 fines for a total of \u20ac 428,545,407<\/a> (over $472 million USD). California will also levy fines for violations of CCPA. Compliance is clearly important if your business resides in a region or employs persons in regions protected by privacy regulation. But protecting privacy is also the right thing to do. Companies who stand on the side of protecting the consumer\u2019s data can differentiate themselves and earn customer loyalty.<\/p>\n<h3>Don\u2019t build a data privacy <em>program<\/em>, build a data privacy <em>culture<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Before you get started, recognize that improving how your organization manages personal data, means building a culture that respects privacy. Break down siloes and engage people across the company. Legal, Marketing, SecOps, IT, Senior Managers, Human Resources, and others all play a part in protecting data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Embrace the concept that privacy is a fundamental<\/strong> <strong>human right<\/strong>\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/gilc.org\/privacy\/survey\/intro.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Privacy is recognized as a human right in the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights<\/a>, among other treaties. It\u2019s also built into the constitutions and governing documents of many countries. As you prepare your organization to comply with new privacy regulations, let this truth guide your program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Understand the data you collect, where it is stored, how it is used, and how it is protected<\/strong>\u2014This is vital if you\u2019re affected by CCPA or GDPR, which require that you disclose to users what data you are collecting and how you are using it. You\u2019re also required to provide data or remove it upon customer request. And I\u2019m not just talking about the data that customers submit through a form. If you\u2019re using a tool to track and collect online user behavior that also counts.<\/p>\n<p>This process may uncover unused data. If so, revise your data collection policies to improve the quality of your data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Determine which regulations apply to your business<\/strong>\u2014Companies within the E.U. that do business with customers within the E.U., or employ E.U. citizens, are subject to GDPR. CPPA applies to companies doing business within California and meet one of the following requirements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A gross annual revenue of more than $25 million.<\/li>\n<li>Derive more than 50 percent of their annual income from the sale of California consumer personal information <em>or<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Buy, sell, or share the personal information of more than 50,000 California consumers annually.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Beyond California and the E.U., <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Personal_Data_Protection_Bill_2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">India is debating a privacy law<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookiebot.com\/en\/lgpd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brazil\u2019s regulations<\/a>, Lei Geral de Prote\u00e7\u00e3o de Dados (LGPD), will go into effect in August 2020. There are also several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/world-of-tech\/beyond-the-atlantic-data-privacy-laws-around-the-world-1322682\">privacy laws in Asia<\/a> that may be relevant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hire, train, and connect people across your organization<\/strong>\u2014To comply with privacy regulations, you\u2019ll need processes and people in place to address these two requirements:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Californians and E.U. citizens are guaranteed the right to know what personal information is being collected about them; to know whether their personal information is sold or disclosed and to whom; and to access their personal information.<\/li>\n<li>Organizations will be held accountable to respond to consumers\u2019 personal information access requests within a finite timeframe, for both regulations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The GDPR requires that all companies hire a Data Protection Officer to ensure compliance with the law. But to create an organization that respects privacy, go beyond compliance. New projects and initiatives should be designed with privacy in mind from the ground up. Marketing will need to include privacy in campaigns, SecOps and IT will need to ensure proper security is in place to protect data that is collected. Build a cross-discipline team with privacy responsibilities, and institute regular training, so that your employees understand how important it is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be transparent about your data collection policies<\/strong>\u2014Data regulations require that you make clear your data collection policies and provide users a way to opt out (CCPA) or opt in (GDPR). Your privacy page should let users know why the data collection benefits them, how you will use their data, and to whom you sell it. If they sell personal information, California businesses will need to include a \u201cDo not sell my personal information\u201d call to action on the homepage.<\/p>\n<p>A transparent privacy policy creates an opportunity for you to build trust with your customers. Prove that you support privacy as a human right and communicate your objectives in a clear and understandable way. Done well, this approach can differentiate you from your competitors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Extend security risk management practices to your supply chain<\/strong>\u2014Both the CCPA and the GDPR require that organizations put practices in place to protect customer data from malicious actors. You also must report breaches in a timely manner. If you\u2019re found in noncompliance, large fees can be levied.<\/p>\n<p>As you implement tools and processes to protect your data, recognize that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/2019\/10\/16\/guarding-against-supply-chain-attacks-part-1-big-picture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">your supply chain also poses a risk<\/a>. Hackers attack software updates, software frameworks, libraries, and firmware as a means of infiltrating otherwise vigilant organizations. As you strengthen your security posture to better protect customer data, be sure to understand your entire hardware and software supply chain.
