Guida al trattamento dei dati personali e alla sicurezza informatica nel contesto della pandemia COVID-19

Nello scenario in evoluzione della pandemia COVID-19, la continuità operativa dipende anche da un’adeguata protezione dei dati e dall’implementazione di pratiche di sicurezza informatica da parte delle organizzazioni. In questo contesto la mappatura delle linee guida sulla privacy e la protezione dei dati e delle best practice di sicurezza informatica ha assunto un ruolo ancora più importante. Proprio per questo motivo, senza presunzione di completezza, ICTLC continua a mappare le risorse ufficiali, dalle istituzioni alle autorità di protezione dei dati di tutto il mondo, che forniscono una guida sul corretto trattamento dei dati personali durante l’emergenza COVID-19 e delle informazioni relative alla sicurezza informatica sul lavoro a distanza nel contesto della pandemia.

Leggi l’approfondimento di ICT Legal Consulting, studio legale internazionale con sede a Milano, Bologna, Roma ed Amsterdam e presente in diciannove altri paesi, specializzato nel settore delle tecnologie informative, della protezione dei dati personali, della sicurezza e della proprietà intellettuale.
