A multinational corporation is preparing to expand its services into a new country. As part of the security team, you are tasked with ensuring that the expansion meets all relevant compliance requirements. Before launching services in the new location, which of the following steps should be prioritized to address compliance concerns effectively?
Review internal policies to ensure they align with the corporation's standard security practices and values.
Perform a detailed vendor assessment focusing on the service-level agreements with local partners.
Conduct a comprehensive analysis of the local and regional laws that will apply to the corporation's new operational area.
Assess existing fines and sanctions to determine the consequences of non-compliance in the current operational regions.
Performing a comprehensive analysis of local and regional laws is crucial when expanding into a new country because it allows the organization to identify specific legal obligations-especially data protection and privacy regulations-that may differ significantly from those in the corporation's home country. Once these requirements are understood, policies and procedures can be adapted to ensure legal compliance. Focusing only on internal policy alignment, reviewing fines and sanctions from other regions, or assessing vendor service-level agreements does not provide a complete picture of the new jurisdiction's mandatory requirements.
