Regulatory compliance requirements refer to laws, regulations, standards, and industry guidelines that organizations must adhere to in order to protect sensitive information, ensure data privacy, and maintain legal and regulatory obligations. Regulatory compliance requirements vary by industry and jurisdiction and may include standards such as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), and SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act). Compliance with regulatory requirements helps organizations avoid legal penalties, reputational damage, and financial losses associated with non-compliance.
