Abstract: Cyber security legislation goes far beyond data protection rules. Data protection, however, offers a very useful point of reference for both information security professionals and lawyers, with important lessons for non-personal data. This paper describes recent decisions that give an indication of how authorities assess potential risks, and thus indirectly help to highlight best practices.
