Assume you are an IT security specialist for a large U.S. online  retail organization that does business internationally. Your CIO has  asked you to thoroughly review the new General Data Protection  Regulation (GDPR) recently implemented in the European Union. He wants  to understand exactly what the organization must do to comply with this  regulation when doing business with EU customers.

Provide a detailed discussion about the rules for businesses and the rights of the EU citizens.

Include a discussion of the following:

• What does the GDPR govern?
• What rights do the EU citizens have with regard to their data?
• What is considered personal data under this regulation?
• What is considered data processing under this regulation?
• Describe the role of the data protection authorities (DPAs).

Discuss, in detail, how the GDPR will change business and security  operations for your organization. Provide the CIO with a recommended  checklist for GDPR compliance and discuss processes and policies that  may need to be changed in order to comply with GDPR.

In your conclusion, address what you think will be the financial  impact to the organization, both in terms of compliance and any lack of  compliance.

While we may not have had much time together discussing security, this probably reminded you of events in your life. Think about a time when you witnessed or were part of a “breach” in security. This might be a specific attack against just you, as part of a larger breach, such as your identity being stolen during a newsworthy event, or an arbitrary event from the news you choose to analyze. Discuss the event, and then discuss which of the CIA (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) principles were violated and specifically how they were violated.  

For the response to suggest an improvement or fix that might have prevented this principle violation.

  • Posts should be 250 to 300 words in length
