What is the relationship between information protection and regulatory compliance?

 Dual Nature of Information Protection:

Regulatory requirements mandate the protection of specific data types, such as personally identifiable information (PII) or national ID numbers, to comply with laws like GDPR or CCPA.

Other types of sensitive data, like trade secrets, are protected based on the organization’s business needs and strategic interests.

 Integration with Data Classification Policies:

Data classification policies should identify and prioritize regulatory compliance needs alongside business priorities.

 Supporting Reference:

EC-Council CCISO materials emphasize aligning data protection practices with both regulatory and organizational objectives.
