The growing concern for public safety of personal data has led governments worldwide to introduce new, more stringent privacy regulations. The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is considered a "gold standard" and has raised the bar in personal data protection. Other countries such as California, Brazil, Japan, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, and Middle Eastern states are enacting similar regulations with commonalities including defined requirements and controls for organizations collecting and processing personal data. To help organizations navigate this new landscape, MongoDB has created a whitepaper exploring key requirements mandated by GDPR and CCPA, and providing guidance on how to apply MongoDB's security controls and services to accelerate the path to compliance.
