Amendment 13 Legislation Update

Updated: Sep 18

As the legislative process for Amendment 13 progresses, the obligation to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) will become mandatory for many organizations. Non-compliance with this requirement could result in severe financial sanctions.

The Knesset discussions on the wording of Amendment 14 have finally concluded, and the amendment, which is expected to be approved soon, introduces new obligations and increased sanctions in the field of data protection. One of the main changes is the requirement to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO).

The DPO is responsible for privacy protection and oversees all privacy-related matters within the company, including implementation, enforcement, integration, and compliance with relevant laws, as well as evaluating the implementation of appropriate safeguards as required by law. Their role includes conducting periodic risk assessments and preparing the organization for external audits to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory data protection requirements.
