I talk about data security and privacy in this article:

Data is now the new currency but its protection is often built on a misunderstanding that exposes companies to immense legal and financial risk.

The truth is, you can have the most sophisticated encryption and impenetrable firewalls in the world (excellent data security) and still be in blatant violation of regulations like the GDPR, CCPA, or VCDPA. 

How? By collecting data without proper consent, using it in ways not stated in your privacy notice, or failing to honor a user’s right to be forgotten. These are data privacy failures, and regulators are increasingly levying monumental fines for them.

In my latest article, I explore why distinguishing between these two concepts is a fundamental requirement for legal compliance and sustainable growth. I break down each concept, how a failure in one inevitably triggers a violation of the other, and the practical steps businesses can take to build a culture of true compliance, integrating both legal governance (privacy) and technical safeguards (security).
