In the 21st century, data privacy is a major concern.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a person\u2019s right to determine what information about them is publicly accessible and can be used for marketing or other money-making endeavours.<\/span><\/p>\n

And as a business owner, you are responsible for keeping your audience\u2019s data safe. In fact, 64% of U.S. users will blame a company – and not the hackers – for the loss of personal data. Thus, you need to take the right steps to ensure that your audience\u2019s data is not leaked or compromised from your end and your image doesn\u2019t get tarnished. Moreover, ensuring data privacy will also help you avoid legal fines.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are a service organization, SOC2 is a voluntary compliance standard developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) that you should adhere to. SOC2 specifies how organizations should ideally be managing their customer\u2019s data.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a federal act that protects people covered by health insurance and makes rules about storing personal medical data.<\/span><\/p>\n
