Lead Supervisory Authority

A Lead Supervisory Authority is the primary organization responsible for overseeing and enforcing data protection laws within a specific region or sector. They ensure that organizations handle personal data properly, respect individuals’ rights, and comply with legal requirements. If there are breaches or disputes, they have the authority to investigate, issue fines, or enforce corrective actions. Essentially, they act as the main regulator ensuring that data privacy standards are maintained and enforced consistently in their jurisdiction.
