Hesse introduced the first data privacy law in the world in 1970. Since then, the German data privacy laws evolved over time and led to the creations of several tools and methods to protect private data.
Though it is aimed at data protection it can be utilized for IT security. This talk introduces the data privacy law and it's main ideas.
I will also show how it can be used to further IT security especially in the SME sector. This mostly refers to the identification and description of processes that work with data and therefore have to be protected.
