Compliance with laws and regulations requires long-term data retention as a foundational IT strategy

Compliance with laws and regulations is no more a choice. To prevent stringent penalties, globally, businesses require long-term data retention as a foundational IT strategy.

Risks of poor data protection

Modern digitally-enabled businesses gather and store sensitive and personal data from customers, increasing the risk of misuse if a breach occurs or data leaks.

Data breaches and theft can be costly for businesses in financial terms and loss of reputation.

Why are the governments getting involved?

Big brothers (governments worldwide) are stepping in to protect consumers’ interests by enforcing businesses to improve their systems to protect sensitive data.

At the start of 2021, there are over 130 jurisdictions that have data protection and privacy laws. Every country might have different specifics to its rules; some might be stricter than others.

With the rapidly growing digitization of businesses, the governments are enforcing these data protection laws to protect consumers’ privacy.

Some examples of such stringent regulations are GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, SEBI, RBI, Personal data protection bill, etc.
