IL: New Rules to Require Tighter Data Security

Posted on March 23, 2017June 25, 2025 by Dissent

Dror Halavy reports:

The Knesset Law and Constitutional Committee has approved measures that will require companies and groups that collect data on Israelis to protect the information from hackers. The new rules, which supply specific criteria to organizations on the types of security needed, will apply equally to government and private sector organizations.

The measures are based on research done by the Justice Ministry, and recently completed at the behest of Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked. Under the measures, organizations will determine whether the data they hold is of low, medium, or high sensitivity for privacy; for example, medical information will be considered as part of the latter category, while membership in a store club might be listed in the former categories.

Each level of sensitivity will require more severe cyber-security strictures and standards. Organizations will have to apply specific approved solutions that meet standards described in the measures. Failure to do so could leave them subject to civil or criminal actions in the event of a security breach.
