Data Security Regulations

Data security regulations are laws and guidelines designed to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, theft, or misuse. These regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the U.S., set standards for how organizations must handle personal data. They require businesses to implement security measures, inform individuals about data collection, and give them rights over their information. Compliance is crucial, as violations can lead to severe penalties and loss of trust from customers and clients.
