Law and data protection
TOM
Abbreviation for technical and organisational measures
In short and in plain language
TOM means technical and organisational measures to protect personal data.
They are based on the law on data privacy.
They include things like encryption, rights to access and backups. Clear ways of work in the team are part of it too.
They matter for care firms. Such firms hold health data of clients. They also hold data from job seekers.
