You selected this option
Delegate the responsibility for compliance with data protection laws to the IT department of each local office.
You selected this option
Establish a data governance framework that complies with the highest standard among the international data protection regulations.
You selected this option
Create a data retention policy that focuses on adhering to the least restrictive data protection standards to ensure ease of data flow.
Establishing a comprehensive data governance framework that is built to comply with the highest standard among international data protection regulations ensures that the organization operates above the baseline requirements of all jurisdictions it operates in. This approach is usually more efficient than attempting to comply with each set of local regulations separately and minimizes the risk of non-compliance. Marking the setup of an external compliance team as the correct answer would be inappropriate because it does not necessarily ensure compliance with global data protection standards. Creating a data retention policy focusing on the least restrictive standards does not ensure compliance with more stringent regulations in other jurisdictions. Lastly, leaving the compliance decision to local IT departments may result in a fragmented and inconsistent approach to data protection that could lead to non-compliance.
