What does Israeli privacy law require from businesses regarding data security?

The Privacy Protection Law and its data security regulations require organizations to classify their databases, apply access controls, encrypt sensitive data, keep audit logs, and report breaches within set timeframes. The exact obligations depend on the size and sensitivity of the data you hold. SrvIT reviews your systems against these requirements and closes any gaps with proper technical controls.

How can SrvIT help my company comply with data security regulations?

We start with an assessment of your current network, servers, and data flows to identify where personal or sensitive information is stored and how it's protected. From there we set up firewalls, encryption, backup policies, and monitoring tailored to the regulation's tier system. We also document procedures so you have evidence of compliance if a regulator or client ever asks.

What happens if my business doesn't meet Israeli data security standards?

Non-compliance can lead to fines, legal exposure, and loss of client trust, especially after a breach. Many contracts now require proof of data security measures before a deal even closes. Working with SrvIT reduces that risk since we handle the technical setup, ongoing monitoring, and updates needed to keep pace with changing requirements.

Data Security & Compliance · For Business

Data security for your business, in line with Israel's Privacy Protection Law.

Does your business hold information about customers, employees or patients? Any organization that manages personal data in Israel - Israeli businesses and international companies operating here alike - is required to assess its obligations, protect the data and apply appropriate controls. We manage data security as part of your ongoing IT services, so compliance is maintained all year round - not just before an audit.

What Amendment 13 requires

Responsibility has moved to the organization's management

Amendment 13 to Israel's Privacy Protection Law expands the enforcement powers of the Privacy Protection Authority. An organization that manages personal data is required to assess the obligations that apply to it, protect the data and implement appropriate controls; some organizations must also appoint a privacy protection officer. These duties apply to any company handling personal data in Israel - local and international alike.

In practice, you need to know what data your organization holds, secure it according to its sensitivity level, and document it. That is exactly what we do.

Why SrvIT

Compliance holds only when someone maintains it continuously

SrvIT operates in accordance with ISO 27001 and ISO 27799 (the standard for information security in healthcare), passed the ISO 27001/27799 audit in 2023, and places its operations under CISO and DPO oversight. We have managed our clients' information security under documented procedures since 1996.

Security and compliance levels hold only when someone maintains them on an ongoing basis. Because we manage the systems permanently, the level stays constant - even between one audit and the next.
