What Software Developers Need to Know About Data Security Laws
Summary
As an ISV, you are not liable for a potential breach or failure to comply with regulations, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider compliance when creating new products for clients. Every application has its own data security controls, and those with the strongest regulations, most rigorous testing, and most transparent collection processes will overtake market ownership. Giving users the choice of whether to share data—and what data they share—is the first step toward protecting the collecting organization from complaints, non-compliance fines, and legal actions. “The new laws and regulations are adding a modicum of guardrails where people can limit—at least one a case-by-case basis—what information is retained or shared about them.” Transparent data collection and usage policies also protect organizations. Developing applications and providing guidance that solve the pain points your clients know they have, and the ones they aren’t yet aware of, builds a relationship of trust that will ultimately grow your business.
