The hotel industry has seen a huge number of high-profile data breaches in recent years. Despite this, POS systems and networks continue to be compromised on a regular basis. But many hotel operators also overlook a more common, low-tech threat to their information security: paper documents.
Like most industries that work with private and confidential information, the Hotel industry is no different. And laws designed to protect identities, financial data, and personal privacy come with strict rules and strong fines.
Here are a just few of the information security laws that apply to your industry:

Protects the personal data and privacy of EU citizens and applies to all companies, whether they operate in the EU or outside, that store or use any information about EU citizens.
Most people fail to identify confidential information correctly. While obvious things like photocopies of a guest’s driving license are quickly flagged, equally common items like a booking confirmation or a reward programme statement might be missed.
If you create, collect, or dispose of these types of documents, you and your hotel could be at-risk of an information breach
