With tech becoming such a prominent part of our society, and companies increasingly storing consumer data in the cloud, the conversation around data privacy and cybersecurity continues to grow. While data privacy focuses on who is authorized to access data, and cybersecurity focuses on securing data from those unauthorized to have it, it’s imperative that SaaS organizations are actively considering both in today’s digital-first world.
In the past few years we have seen several data breaches involving large companies which has affected millions of people. One of the biggest recent data breaches involved Marriott, who had to inform 500 million guests that their personal data had potentially been stolen by hackers. These breaches have caused countries, states and companies to reconsider data privacy and push for more strict regulations. In terms of legislation, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) are looked at as model pieces of legislation in regulating data privacy.
