"'Security' and 'privacy' should not be confused, nor should 'privacy and data protection' be treated as a subcategory of security. These concepts should rather be regarded as distinct and only partly overlapping. Briefly put: good security does not necessarily provide good privacy and data protection, but good privacy and data protection would always require good security."
