Regulation is a critical concern for technology businesses—posing significant risks to their operations, finances and brand reputation.
With regulators equipped with increased funding and investigatory and enforcement powers, scrutiny has intensified and enforcement has become more common. Criminal sanctions are increasingly prevalent, and in many countries, directors and senior managers are personally liable for their organisation’s compliance.
