ISO/IEC 27001 vs. CCPA and NYC Shield Act: What Are the Similarities and Differences?

The adoption of laws protecting the data of individuals and consumers is becoming a driving force to push organizations to revisit their security around client and personal data. In addition, with the rise of government legislated personal data protection laws such as GDPR, individuals in other jurisdictions are now looking for better personal data protection. In this presentation, we will examine two US laws as well as the ISO/IEC 27001 standard and we will look at commonalities and differences between these three and how data security is driven from each.
