The Era of 10% Revenue Punitive Fines: Privacy Protection Strategies for SMEs

Attorney Soojin Park of Solaris Law has written a column for the industry media outlet 'Industry News,' presenting practical data protection strategies for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).


Amid recent large-scale personal data breaches, a plan is being pushed to raise the maximum penalty for personal data leaks to as much as 10% of total revenue. In response, Attorney Soojin Park proposed three key measures for SMEs, which are relatively vulnerable to cyber threats due to limited budgets and a shortage of security professionals, to minimize legal risks and survive.


In the contribution, Attorney Park emphasized the importance of minimizing unnecessary collection of personal data, preventing ransomware damage through offline backups, and thoroughly documenting security inspections and training. This is highly significant in that it offers an effective and cost-efficient way for SMEs to build compliance that they can adopt immediately on the ground.
