Organizations are collecting and managing more data
than ever before. As the use of technology expands
across all business functions, the data surge only grows.
Governments and industries are continuously enacting
and evolving data protection and privacy frameworks.
Some are laws that come with hefty fines for non-
compliance, others simply propose guidelines to
follow. In any case, most of them share the same goal:
encouraging organizations to follow best practices in
the ways they collect, store, manage, and secure data.
While keeping up with all the data regulations can
seem demanding, it doesn't have to be. There's a lot of
overlap between various data protection regulations
and guidelines. Find out how you can remain compliant
with both new and existing regulations.
Navigating data protection and
privacy regulations
Concerned about data regulations like NIS2, GDPR, CCPA/CPRA or HIPAA (to name a few)? Don't be.
Learn how applying best practices and partnering with the right people can make all the difference.
One big concern with data protection and privacy is
the number of different regulations that are out there.
Remembering all the acronyms and what they stand for
is difficult enough. Knowing the details, requirements,
and consequences of each adds to the complexity.
What's crucial is understanding that they all share
similar principles and requirements for data protection.
In many ways, they are complementary to one another.
Before we dive into the commonalities, let's explore a
few different regulations around the world:
General Data Protection Regulation
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is one
of the most important data protection and privacy
regulations in Europe. It governs how organizations
collect, use, and share the personal data of European
Union (EU) residents. The GDPR is well-known around
the world, mainly because it applies internationally to
all organizations handling data of EU residents, and it
set a benchmark for non-compliance fines—up to 4% of
annual revenue or 20 million euros, whichever is greater.

Network and Information Systems Directive
The Network and Information Systems Directive (NIS2)
is an expansion of a previous EU cybersecurity directive,
NIS1. It ensures that all organizations that provide their
services or carry out their activities within the EU, and
are considered a part of essential infrastructure, adopt
and maintain strict cybersecurity practices. It also
touches on aspects such as perimeter security, building
access, visitor management, and disaster recovery. You
can assess your current system with this checklist.
