Global Cyber Privacy Regulations I Brit Insurance

Legislation and guidance can differ or even overlap, depending on where a business is operating. An organisation operating across multiple jurisdictions will have some of the most stringent and the most varied regulations to comply with – not least in the US which has a fragmented approach involving Federal and State laws.

This inconsistency means businesses have to navigate complex regulation and tailor their compliance strategies to meet the specific demands of each region.

The rapid pace that technology advances also complicates things. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things introduce new privacy and security risks, prompting regulators to continuously update their frameworks. Businesses have to stay constantly informed, while being agile enough to make changes quickly – all of which can be resource-intensive.
