The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has inspired several US states to introduce their own data governance measures, which will impose extra obligations on businesses that handle consumer data in those jurisdictions. California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia have new or amended data consumer privacy laws that require data controllers and processors to protect the security and integrity of the data they handle for consumers with reasonable data security measures. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework and the Center for Internet Security (CIS) provide guidelines for implementing reasonable security safeguards, emphasizing the importance of data resilience in protecting critical assets and information. Businesses that fail to implement protective measures risk reputational harm, fines, and regulatory enforcement.
