Amendment 13 to the Privacy Protection Law: what does it mean for your business?

Amendment 13 (Amendment No. 40): legal requirements

Amendment 13 to the Privacy Protection Law, 5741-1981 (Amendment No. 40), which has come into force, requires every database owner to implement appropriate security measures to protect the data in its possession.

Who is required to comply?

Every business or organization that holds a database is required to comply with the law, whether it holds information about customers, employees, suppliers or any other data. The law applies equally to small, medium and large businesses.

What are the main requirements?

  • Risk assessment - identifying vulnerabilities and assessing the level of risk
  • Security policy - documenting policies, processes and procedures
  • Technical safeguards - protecting computers, servers and networks
  • Permissions management and access control - ensuring restricted access to sensitive data
  • Employee training - training employees in cybersecurity and privacy
  • Backups - automatic backups and restore testing
  • Periodic audits - security testing and policy updates

What happens if you don't comply?

Violating Amendment 13 can lead to significant fines, damage to your business's reputation, and even personal liability for officeholders. In addition, in the event of a data leak, the business may be exposed to lawsuits from those affected.
