1. Data Security vs. Data Privacy – What’s the Difference?

In today’s digital age, organizations are flooded with ever-growing volumes of data, while cyber threats rise just as quickly. Yet, many still confuse data security with data privacy, often believing one covers the other. This misconception can expose businesses to costly risks. To protect both your company and your customers, it’s crucial to understand the key differences — and why both must work hand in hand in a strong data governance strategy.

📌 Data Security

  • Focuses on protecting data from malicious threats, breaches, and misuse.
  • Uses technology such as encryption, firewalls, and access controls.
  • Ensures data cannot be stolen, altered, or exploited by unauthorized actors.

📌 Data Privacy

  • Focuses on the use, governance, and handling of personal or sensitive information.
  • Ensures data is collected, stored, and shared responsibly, with proper consent.
  • Relies on policies and procedures to protect individuals’ rights.
