Abstract

With the development of the digital economy, personal information has become an important strategic resource. There is a significant "technology-legal gap" between the frequent technical security breaches in the storage section of personal information protection and the lagging legal regulations, leading to an escalation of the risk of large-scale data breaches. Based on an analysis of classic data breaches, this paper systematically reveals the predicaments and root causes caused by this gap. The core of the study is to propose and demonstrate a dynamic compliance framework of "legalization of technical standards + strengthening of liability" : through the two-way interaction of mandatory technical certification systems and stepped punitive damages mechanisms, to drive the transformation of personal information leakage towards proactive prevention. The framework aims to systematically bridge the gap between technical security and legal regulation, providing a critical path for improving the supporting mechanisms for the implementation of the Personal Information Protection Law.
