Abstract
Data protection and crisis management: Two opposing forces?
The protection of personal data is a fundamental right in Europe and as a result, the legislative framework is thorough and comprehensive. On the other hand, security incidents call for enhanced responses. Processing of big data is often necessary in order to better develop the emergency response plan and the solutions to the security challenges. Among the processed data, also personal data are often included, which activates the need for protection of the right to personal data. Are data protection and crisis management two opposing forces? What is the potential role of third party certification?
