Data Protection as a Corporate Social Responsibility

Paolo Balboni, Professor of Privacy, Cybersecurity and IT Contract Law and Kate Elizabeth Francis, PhD Candidate, European Centre on Privacy and Cybersecurity, Maastricht University Faculty of Law, Netherlands

这progressive book critically analyses the current state of data protection enforcement and proposes a new auditable framework of practical guidelines to contribute to a more sustainable data-driven future. In outlining the debates relating to current data protection structures, Paolo Balboni and Kate Elizabeth Francis argue that legislation alone cannot sufficiently protect individuals’ fundamental rights and freedoms, and instead consider the pressing need for a more ethical approach to data protection.

‘The DPCSR Framework is the most prominent initiative so far to embed data protection and data security by design into organizational governance structures. That allows institutions to transform ethical principles into reality, which is essential to any responsible organization.’
