With the enactment of Amendment 13, organizations in Israel are required to adapt to stricter regulations and invest in infrastructure, procedures, and resources to protect personal data and maintain customer trust. This amendment not only reflects global trends but also highlights the critical importance of privacy in today’s connected world.
Is your organization ready to face these changes?
Expanded Responsibilities:
- Higher Standards: The amendment sets stricter standards for managing and securing databases, necessitating a comprehensive review of all data management processes within the organization.
- Elevated Role of the DPO: The Data Protection Officer (DPO) is no longer just the guardian of personal data but now serves as the regulatory leader ensuring compliance with the law and maintaining transparency with customers.
- Priority on Individual Rights: The law grants individuals broader rights, including access, correction, and deletion of their data, requiring organizations to be prepared for these demands.
Three Immediate Steps for Proper Readiness:
- Mapping and Managing Privacy Risks: Conduct a thorough Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to identify potential risks in your processes and systems.
- Updating Procedures and Training Employees: Ensure your policies reflect the new requirements, and train all employees on their role in protecting privacy.
- Implementing Advanced Technologies: Invest in tools that assist in managing permissions, tracking access to personal data, and automating incident reporting.
Why Does This Matter?
In today’s era, privacy is non-negotiable. Organizations that fail to comply with the new requirements risk not only fines and reputational damage but also the loss of customer trust—the key to success in the modern business landscape.
