New Israeli data security regulations

A new publication addresses frequently asked questions with respect to new data security regulations in Israel, including to whom they apply, the effective date of implementation, and how they affect the potential sanctions and powers of the data protection authority.
 
The publication specifically discusses how regulations adopt a risk-based approach, applying different rules to databases according to their risk profile, and explains how the regulations are set up three main risk categories.
