Security has several areas of specialization. If some objectives overlap, there will be differences in tools, scope, situation and foundations. The illustration above shows some differences and common areas involved. Cybersecurity and information security play an important role in personal data protection to ensure data privacy. Several departments and external stakeholders participate in the implementation and sustainability of strategies. These areas (many exist) have in common the CIA triangle to which we add the proof of governance or "Accountability" required by the personal data protection. Adequate training, sustained awareness and strong governance are key compliance factors.
