Data Privacy Day 2021: Pandemic Response Data Must Align with Data Privacy Rules
Amid a pandemic, Data Privacy Day this year brings forth expanded responsibilities for organizations in the response to COVID-19.
One year ago, Data Privacy Day 2020 showed nothing more than a glimpse on the horizon of the pandemic to come.
However, this year s Data Privacy Day today, 28 January brings more widespread responsibility to ensure that the data held by public and private sector organizations alike is treated with respect, in line with relevant regulations.
While there is always more personally identifiable information (PII) than ever for enterprises to protect, this is particularly true in 2021 with the inclusion of data held by government organizations engaged in the fight against COVID-19.
