An international organization with remote branches is implementing a corporate security policy for managing personally identifiable information (PII). Which of the following should be the information security manager's MAIN concern?
Local regulations are the main concern for the information security manager when implementing a corporate security policy for managing PII, as different countries or regions may have different legal, regulatory or contractual requirements for the protection, processing, storage and transfer of PII. The information security manager should ensure that the policy complies with the applicable local regulations and respects the rights and preferences of the data subjects. The policy should also address the risks and challenges of cross-border data transfers and the use of cloud services.
