CYSE-406-Cyber-Law.docxThis policy memo, written as a recommendation to a state governor, evaluates privacy risks associated with personally identifiable information (PII) and biometric data collection. Drawing on legislation like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Virginia and Connecticut data laws, and GDPR principles, I proposed actionable strategies for state-level regulation. The artifact demonstrates my understanding of legal definitions and jurisdictional impacts, my ability to communicate policy risks clearly, and my strategic thinking around compliance and citizen protection in the digital age. This work reflects a practical grasp of cybersecurity law and the broader ethical implications of data governance.
