The Privacy / Security Paradox

Deloitte & Touche LLP in conjunction with the Canadian Information and Privacy Commissioner (Ann Cavoukian) have released a paper that provides corporate executives with suggestions for developing strategies for information security and privacy protection.

If you are an ISO/CSO/CIO that has responsibility for balancing the information security vs. privacy aspects in your organization, you may wish to read this paper.

The paper describes the overlap between information security and privacy protection, addresses misconceptions that can lead to wasted money, time, effort, conflict and, all too often, inappropriate measures and programs. It also makes recommendations and prioritizes business, organizational and technical approaches that are cost-justifiable and can be beneficial in reaching regulatory compliance.

An interesting read if this falls into areas of your responsibility. And not just for Canadians either. This is good for anyone... with obvious rational thinking to the privacy policies and laws of your country.
