Data privacy regulation compliance burden and complexity

0

Definition

Multiple overlapping data privacy laws (GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, state laws, and emerging regulations) create compliance complexity. Custom programming firms must understand regulations across multiple jurisdictions, build compliance into software design, conduct audits, and maintain documentation. Non-compliance results in regulatory penalties, client lawsuits, reputational damage, and project delays. For SMB shops, navigating this landscape requires specialized legal/compliance expertise that most cannot afford in-house. Clients increasingly require compliance certifications and proof of secure practices. Each new regulation requires training, process changes, and potentially code modifications across existing projects. The regulatory environment is continuously evolving, making it difficult to maintain compliance.
