They define security levels (basic, medium, high) and specific requirements for each level. CBE has been guiding organizations to compliance with the regulations for 30 years.

What are the Privacy Regulations?

Data security regulations — mandatory for every database in Israel

The Privacy Protection Regulations (Data Security) 2017 are mandatory regulations that define the data security requirements for any entity holding a database in Israel. They classify databases into 3 levels and define security requirements for each level.

Basic security level — simple databases. Medium security level — databases with relatively sensitive data. High security level — databases with the most sensitive data (health, finance and more).

CBE doesn't just guide you to the regulations — we build a compliance framework that combines the Privacy Regulations, Amendment 13 and ISO 27001, because full compliance requires all three.
