Which data type specifically refers to information whose collection, storage, and transmission are governed by external laws or industry regulations such as HIPAA for medical records or PCI-DSS for credit-card information?
Intellectual property
Trade secret
Regulated
Public
Regulated data is subject to statutes or industry frameworks that prescribe how it must be secured (for example, HIPAA, FERPA, GDPR, or PCI-DSS). Because non-compliance can trigger fines and legal liability, organizations must implement controls such as encryption, strict access control, and auditing. Other data types like trade secrets or intellectual property may be highly valuable but are not dictated by external regulations in the same way.
