Privacy

The focus on protecting the privacy of citizens and consumers remains steadfast. Effective protection of personal data and privacy contributes to the digital trust of stakeholders and, consequently, to the growth of digital services.

Privacy and information security are closely linked: The fundamental principles of information security and privacy are largely similar.

The first and often primary principle of information security is the confidentiality of information. This aligns with the core privacy concern of protecting personal data to shield one’s private life. Privacy is assured when data is adequately protected, and it is at risk when information breaches occur.
