The first question many ask, “What is the difference between privacy and security? Is there a different way of assessing privacy and security?” Even today, many people with technology and auditing backgrounds confuse and conflate privacy with security, and they think that doing a security audit is privacy assessment and audit. That is because the 2 sometimes overlap in a connected world. However, they are not the same, and knowing how they differ may help you to protect your organization in an increasingly connected world.
