CYB 260 Module One Worksheet Activity Guidelines and Rubric
Summation of Privacy Laws Part 1
Overview
This is the first of three activities where we will explore privacy laws that govern personally identifiable information (PII). The table you will be creating will summarize the laws, who they apply to, and who is responsible for ensuring compliance in an organization. It is important that this table is filled in using your own words, as this will help you master the material. Because the descriptions will be in your own words, you are not required to cite the sources. This exercise introduces a small sample of laws that you will add to in subsequent course activities. By the end of Module Four, the completed table will be a great addition to your cyber playbook and will provide a useful reference for Projects One and Two.
