1-2 Worksheet Activity: Summation of Privacy Laws Part 1

Summation of Privacy Laws Part 1

Overview

This assignment is the first of three activities where you will explore privacy laws that govern personally identifiable information (PII). Your completed table will include the following requirements:

• A summary of the laws
• Information about who the laws apply to
• Who is responsible for ensuring compliance in an organization

It is important that you fill out this table using your own words because it will help you master the material. Since the descriptions will be in your own words, you are not required to cite the sources. This exercise introduces a small sample of laws. You will examine more laws in future course activities. By the end of Module Four, the completed table will be a great addition to your cyber playbook and provide a useful reference for Projects One and Two.
