Legislation, policies and codes of practice
The larger technology environment provides access to national legislation, international codes of practice and industry-based benchmarks for organisations and individuals to act securely and legally within a fast-changing landscape. Organisations rely on these benchmarks to then create robust internal policies to guide the behaviour of staff in the sphere of digital security.

Responding to data breaches
There is a fine line between security breach and a data breach. A security breach is effectively a break and enter, whereas the definition of a data breach is when a cybercriminal steals your information. Imagine a bank robber; the security breach is when he digs a tunnel to the safe, and the data breach is when he steals the money from the vault.
