Abstract

Privacy and security have common elements but are different. Digital privacy choices are made based on the beliefs and perceptions of what can be shared and what should be kept discreet during communication. There has been a proliferation in the use of social networking sites. As a result, many individuals, firms, and communities view a loss in privacy as the result of a cybersecurity incident. However, not all cybersecurity incidents result in a privacy loss and not all privacy loss is the result of a cybersecurity incident. Privacy regulations provide the building blocks to ensure that sufficient data privacy standards are abided and that there are consequences for non-compliance, which in most cases are fines and levies to the defaulting organization. These regulations should provide guardrails to protect individuals and organizations by requiring data owners to be better stewards of that data. The problem is that technology changes at a faster pace than regulations can be created, so there is always a lag in the implementation.
