Data Protection & Compliance

Data Protection & Compliance

Data Protection & Compliance Laws are regulations that govern the protection of personal data, ensuring that organizations comply with specific rules to maintain confidentiality, integrity, and privacy. These laws protect individuals’ rights in relation to how their personal data is collected, stored, used, and shared. While the term “privilege” in the context of data protection generally refers to legal protections against the disclosure of sensitive data, “compliance” often focuses on adhering to legal and regulatory frameworks.
