Why adopt a cybersecurity approach?
In 2023, local governments and public agencies saw a 26% increase in phishing attacks, a 22% rise in account hacking, and a 36% surge in fraud. Personal data management is a major challenge for these organizations, with Data Protection Officers (DPOs) at the forefront, ensuring compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Data is now at the heart of a quality management system, for which the ISO/IEC 27001 standard provides a roadmap.
