Managing opportunity and risk in an information-driven digital world
Share
Data is a critical asset in today’s globally connected economy. Rapidly evolving technologies have made it easier than ever for companies to collect, use and transfer data throughout the world. Yet strict data protection, privacy and cybersecurity regulation is evolving rapidly, imposing complex and often inconsistent standards.
Our Global Data & Cyber Handbook is updated annually to help you keep up with the dynamic legal landscape. We provide detailed overviews and allow a comparative perspective of the increasingly complex and sophisticated data privacy and cybersecurity standards in over 50 countries.
In our updated edition, as well as capturing new and pending legislation in jurisdictions across the globe, we have expanded content relating to key areas of activity for 2025:
Geopolitical Cyber Threats. Risk mitigation and preparation for increased cyber-attacks is key, particularly around critical infrastructure and IT supply chain due to geopolitical tensions and impending changes to global tariffs. Our updated and expanded handbook captures changes to local cybersecurity laws, including breach notification requirements, and trends in enforcement by regulators.
Non-personal Data Trends. There is increased urgency to manage data localization and cross-border access restrictions due to global secular trends. In parallel, it is essential to understand the growing burden of non-personal data regulation in jurisdictions seeking to open access and sharing of valuable data. Our 2025 update includes additional detail on non-personal data regulation across the globe.
AI Risk and Opportunity. Organizations must find innovative ways to create, leverage and utilize AI while improving AI governance as global policy and legislation shift, leading to increased regulation in many jurisdictions. Addressing data privacy compliance risk is critical, but just one facet of the complex AI governance challenge. Our updated content includes information on the key laws governing AI from a privacy perspective, as well as regulatory enforcement trends
