I hope you enjoy my latest cartoon about data security — a twist on the angel on one shoulder and devil on the other. Humans are the weakest link for data security. Attempts to control people with surveillance or lots of technological restrictions often backfire. I believe that the most effective solution is to train […]
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has actually been with us for quite a long time (in various forms), but this month is the moment of truth. On May 25, the GDPR will start being enforced. Here’s a quick timeline of the evolution of the GDPR: October 1995: Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC) is adopted. The […]
Feeling stressed out about GDPR? I can help! Here are all of my GDPR cartoons and attempts at GDPR humor in one post. It’s much better to laugh than to cry . . .
This cartoon makes fun of the fact that these days, there seem to be so many GDPR experts. There are, indeed, many experts who know a lot about GDPR. The problem is that there are a lot more “experts” out there who know only a little about GDPR.
I hope you enjoy my latest cartoon about passwords on the Dark Web. These days, it seems, login credentials and other personal data are routinely stocking the shelves of the Dark Web. Last year, a hacker was peddling 117 million LinkedIn user email and passwords. And, late last year, researchers found a file with 1.4 billion passwords […]

These circumstances include when the data is no longer relevant to the purposes of collection, when consent […]
I turned my short GDPR vignette about GDPR’s territorial scope into a cartoon. The GDPR applies not just to all EU organizations that process personal data. The GDPR also applies to non-EU established organizations that offer goods and services to EU citizens or that monitor behavior within the EU. The GDPR thus has quite a long […]
This cartoon focuses on the lawful processing requirement. Under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation G(DPR), the collection and processing of personal data must be for “specified, explicit and legitimate purposes.” This is in contrast to the United States where the processing of personal information is permitted unless a law forbids it. Under the GDPR, […]
This cartoon depicts the challenges of complying with GDPR’s requirements for vendor management. Under the GDPR, there are serious responsibilities when using a vendor to process personal data. Broadly, there are three things that data controllers must do: 1. Data controllers must perform due diligence in selecting vendors and that are complaint with GDPR. […]
