"Most laws are directed at the information, data, or intellectual property rather than the IT professional."
Explanation: statutes and regulations typically govern how data, systems, and IP must be handled (privacy, security, copyright, breach notification, etc.), so IT work is constrained by those rules. That doesn’t mean IT professionals can ignore the law — they must implement and follow controls and policies — but laws more often target the information/assets and their protection than the individual IT worker’s legal expertise.
