While organizations grapple with cybersecurity threats to their IT systems and business-critical data, they must also confront rapidly expanding consumer and legal demands to respect the privacy of personal information. Privacy requires reasonable safeguards to secure personal information. Privacy also requires that an organization provide full disclosure about—and often the right to restrict:
