Executive summary:

The emergence of web-based HR applications has streamlined industry operations, making them more productive and efficient than ever. Conversely, it has also created a new headache for HR and IT professionals alike. Protecting the sensitive employee and candidate information stored on these web-based applications is a never-ending challenge.

With all the publicity surrounding high-profile cases of security breaches and increased public anxiety regarding identity theft; data privacy and protection are expected to remain highly regulated areas of the law. As it stands, several countries around the globe—including the EU nations, the United States, Canada, China, and Japan—have enacted or are planning to enact data privacy and data protection legislation.
