<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Alex,</div><div><br></div><div>Interesting perspective. While at it , since organizations have Standards like the ISO 27000 series, where can individuals get credible standards for self assessment?, i think this would be critical tool kit that can supplement the Data protection laws. KICTANet has actually developed a Curriculum on Digital Security and Privacy that attempts to create awareness and empower Internet end users with skills that enable them to conduct self assessment.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jun 23, 2022 at 2:36 PM Alex Watila via KICTANet <<a href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="gmail-m_-1454870994905134568WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Dear Listers,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">On question 1 I think people are over fearful regarding the issue of data protection.
