Summary

The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) are two of the most frequently mentioned subjects in recent years, with DevSecOps emerging as a best practice to help businesses comply. The increasing concern for data privacy and security has led to the development of new regulations, which have forced companies to rethink their approach to handling data. GDPR has opened the way for similar regulations to be passed or proposed by many states and countries, encouraging companies to apply their security measures across all markets. DevSecOps takes DevOps one step further by developing "security-as-code" and shifting security to the left, promoting a security-aware mindset that can adapt to existing and future regulations without sacrificing development speed. Adopting DevSecOps doesn't automatically make you compliant with data protection regulations, but it ticks many of the boxes, including implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, proactive monitoring, and logging. By adopting DevSecOps, companies can build better apps, deliver them quicker, and reduce vulnerabilities, ultimately leading to a great cost-benefit.
