Security of Information Act

The Security of Information Act (SIA) is a law that is intended to help protect people's personal information when it is stored or used online. It does this by setting rules about how companies must handle private information. For example, companies must secure their computer systems with passwords and other measures to keep the information safe and confidential. They also have to tell people when their information will be used and be honest about how it is being used. Companies must also make sure that they only keep the information they need and delete it when it is no longer needed. Finally, they must report any data breaches to authorities so people can be notified and their information can be protected. In a nutshell, the SIA helps protect people's information online by making sure companies do their part to keep it secure and confidential.
