Supervisory Authorities

Supervisory Authorities are regulatory bodies that oversee specific sectors or activities to ensure compliance with laws and regulations. They monitor practices, enforce standards, and protect public interests, such as safety, security, and fairness. For example, in finance, a supervisory authority ensures that banks operate safely and transparently. In privacy, they oversee the protection of personal data according to regulations like GDPR. Their role is critical in maintaining trust and accountability in various industries, ensuring that organizations operate within the legal framework and adhere to ethical practices.
