Adherence to data protection legislation and regulations ensures legal compliance, mitigates the risk of regulatory fines or penalties, and helps protect the organization's reputation. Since data protection laws can vary significantly between jurisdictions, it's essential for a global organization to ensure that its controls align with the specific requirements of each location where it operates.
