Abstract

It is an understatement to say that the legal issues arising from privacy and information security concerns are complex. Indeed, the way that laws from various jurisdictions and industry sectors interact and even conflict make the legal issues in this space hypercomplex: more complex because of their very own complexity. Fortunately, a common regulatory language is beginning to coalesce, and organisations can position themselves within this ‘sweet spot’ of regulatory focus. By engaging in robust and honest risk assessments, by adopting an established security framework, and by including regulatory risk in its risk management and budgeting efforts, an organisation can adapt to the changing regulatory landscape and lessen the burden that this hypercomplexity creates.
