Your company is expanding into several states and foreign provinces, each of which enforces its own privacy and breach-notification statutes. During the planning phase of a new corporate security program, what is the primary reason the security team must study those local and regional regulations?
To apply universal standards of cybersecurity that are recognized globally.
To ensure compliance with specific legal requirements that may not be covered by national or global standards.
To simplify the security program management by adhering to broader compliance laws.
To avoid the need for customizing security measures for different company branches.
Organizations must comply with every jurisdiction's specific legal requirements. Local or regional statutes may impose unique obligations-such as data-residency or breach-notification rules-that national or international frameworks do not address. Ignoring these nuances can expose the company to fines, lawsuits, or other sanctions, whereas global standards alone rarely guarantee full compliance in every locality.
