Data protection and privacy laws require organizations to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and availability of personal information such as medical records and credit profiles. In the United States, only specific industries such as health care and financial services are subject to federal data protection laws such as HIPAA and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). However, most large and fast-growing economies in Europe, Asia and other parts of the world have enacted data protection legislation that covers all sectors, public and private. As a result, protecting personal information has become a standard requirement for doing business across national boundaries.
