Within the context of information security, which term is used to describe enforceable directives issued by a government entity that organizations are legally bound to follow?
The correct answer is 'Regulations'. Regulations are specific, enforceable requirements laid down by governmental authorities, and organizations must adhere to them to ensure compliance within various domains, including data protection and privacy. 'Guidelines' offer advice or suggestions but are not legally enforceable. 'Frameworks' provide a structured approach to addressing complex issues but also lack the force of law. While 'Mandates' require action, the term is broad and may not necessarily pertain to legally enforceable directives from a government body in the way 'regulations' do.
