What is in store for data protection and cyber security regulation in Asia Pacific (APAC) in 2019?
2018 was a momentous year for data protection and cyber security regulation globally – the implementation of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was, of course, the main event.
The shockwaves of GDPR hit APAC with full force, coupled with the promulgation of an important GDPR-inspired national standard in China and the tabling of a draft data protection law in India that shares the same lineage.
Rising public awareness of data protection concerns, due to the ever increasing volume and scale of cyber incidents in APAC, means that these issues are front and centre for organizations in terms of brand values, effective risk management and stewardship of increasingly valuable data assets.
What do you need to be doing to prepare your organization?
