🔍 What is a "Database" under Israeli law?

Under the law, any collection of data about people managed digitally is considered a database. This includes customer lists, employee records, suppliers, leads, and even security camera footage.

📊 Overview of Security Levels

1. Individually-Managed Database

A sole proprietor's business with no employees who have access to the data.

2. Basic Security Level

Small databases (up to 10,000 people). Required: user management, physical and backup security.

3. Medium Security Level

Sensitive information, or over 10,000 people.
Required: access management and activity logging.

4. High Security Level

Over 100,000 people, or highly sensitive data.
Required: periodic penetration testing.

🛡️ The Business Owner's Core Obligations

  • Database definitions document: describes the data and the protections applied to it.
  • Information security procedure: internal work procedures for employees.
  • Access control: unique login credentials for every user.
