General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Assume you are an IT security specialist for a large U.S. online retail organization that does business internationally. Your CIO has asked you to thoroughly review the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) recently implemented in the European Union. He wants to understand exactly what the organization must do to comply with this regulation when doing business with EU customers.
Provide a detailed discussion about the rules for businesses and the rights of the EU citizens.
Include a discussion of the following:
What does the GDPR govern?
What rights do the EU citizens have with regard to their data?
What is considered personal data under this regulation?
What is considered data processing under this regulation?
Describe the role of the data protection authorities (DPAs).
Discuss, in detail, how the GDPR will change business and security operations for your organization. Provide the CIO with a recommended checklist for GDPR compliance and discuss processes and policies that may need to be changed in order to comply with GDPR.
In your conclusion, address what you think will be the financial impact to the organization, both in terms of compliance and any lack of compliance.
One problem presented by whiteness and white privilege is that it perpetuates inequality between racial groups in terms of access to education, employment opportunities, healthcare, housing, and other resources. For example, according to research conducted by McKinsey & Company (2018), black people face higher unemployment rates than whites regardless of educational attainment or income level. Racial disparities are also prevalent in areas such as health care: according to data from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2020), blacks have more than twice the risk for dying from Covid-19 compared with whites due to lack of adequate treatment options available for minority populations.
Another issue related to whiteness and white privilege is that it can lead to racism against minority groups through institutional policies and practices which marginalize them or deny them equal opportunities due their race or ethnicity. A study published by McVea et al., 2019 found that there were significant racial disparities in college admission decisions even when controlling for academic credentials; results showed that African American applicants were less likely than their White counterparts with similar qualifications to be admitted into selective colleges despite having comparable GPAs, test scores, financial backgrounds, etc. Thus this reveals how institutions can perpetuate inequality based on race even when they are legally prohibited from doing so due implicit biases stemming from societal conceptions about race associated with whiteness.
