Data protection and cybersecurity regulations are evolving faster than ever. Around the world, regulators are tightening requirements in response to accelerating AI adoption, crossborder data risks, and a sharp rise in sophisticated cyberattacks. AI governance is now central to privacy enforcement, with authorities issuing new guidance and major fines for AI-related data practices in the EU and beyond.
Against this backdrop, understanding the global data and cyber regulatory landscape is no longer optional — it is essential for operational resilience, compliance, and maintaining client trust.
