The Impact and Standards of Data Protection Regulations

With breaches becoming "when" statements and not "if", the focus on Data Protection Regulations and their impact on business/people gained momentum. This discussion will focus on the Data Protection Standards established in the early 2000s and how they have evolved since that time. The EU GDPR and California CCPA Regulations will be used as examples of a trend towards making data privacy law and what that means for the businesses and people who use the technologies/data impacted.
