All organizations, big or small, worldwide face internal and external threats the personal data they hold if they:

• Use mobile technology (smartphones, tablets, laptops, PC).
• Have employees (employees account for 43% of data loss).
• Engage external partners, contractors, vendors, etc.
• Accept credit cards or other online forms of payment.
• Store confidential customer, partner, employee or similar information.

The global challenge to protect personal data is progressive. Complex laws and regulations are constantly being revised and updated to require organizations to be transparent about their use, security, and breach of security of the personal data they collect, process and hold. This area of human activity has become a specialized industry on its own due to its technical, legal and communication costs and complexities.
