What Role Do Regulations Play in Secure Data Storage?
Regulations play a pivotal role in shaping data security practices in epidemiology. Compliance with laws such as HIPAA in the United States, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe, and other local regulations is mandatory. These regulations set standards for data protection, including requirements for encryption, access control, and breach notification. Adhering to these regulations not only ensures legal compliance but also enhances the overall security posture of epidemiological data storage.
