Global legislation : Current regulations about the data security around the world
The biggest concern about data security today is the lack of uniform legislation not only across the world but between the various states in the US. With more and more people choosing to conduct business online, online stores mushrooming across the world and information being exchanged every second of each day over the internet, the safety of data posted on any website is at the mercy of steps voluntarily taken by that site to ensure data security. Identity thefts are not only common, they are rampant. And data breaches are not limited to credit card information, data theft occurs at the websites of banks, schools, businesses, government agencies, hospital and health care organizations, online retail stores, etc.
Governments get tough on patient privacy
The need to enforce legislation to ensure the protection of patient privacy has become increasing evident with the increase in cases of data theft in the healthcare sector. In fact, the finance and healthcare sectors have time and again recorded the highest rate of data breaches. The World Privacy Forum (WPF) released a report in 2006, which showed that approximately 3 percent of the identity thefts were related to the medical sector.
The medical and healthcare sector usually collects personal information regarding an individual’s medical records, payment history, etc. Most of this information is sensitive in nature and adequate measures need to be taken to safeguard the information against identity and data theft.
