Before we get into the necessary steps you must take to ensure data compliance, lets first dig in to what makes it important:

1. Investing your time and effort in data compliance is going to ensure that you achieve what is known as the CIA triad which stands for: Confidentiality, Integrity, & Availability. Data compliance allows you to fulfill all these elements by making your information reliable, accessible, and safe from any sort of intrusion.?

1. Enables you to have an information management foundation/framework with a depiction of the people, procedures, and guidelines that are necessary for the success of your business data management. Your organization is going to have the necessary procedures for managing and preserving data allowing you to defend your firm as a whole, including your customers, and employees.

1. And lastly, the positive perception that will surround your organization in Egypt is going to increase, especially since security is increasingly becoming a concern for Egyptian organizations and consumers. Your customers are going to be confident in you when they learn that your company follows the safe data procedures.?

So, How Can Data Compliance Be Achieved?

?

1. Recognize the types of data your company manages and how they are handled.??

Egypt’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), which requires safeguarding personal data against loss, damage, destruction, and unauthorized use, may be required to be followed by some enterprises. Depending on your organization’s line of work, your company may be subject to more than one Egyptian legislation.

2. Create your own safety strategy and evaluations for your business.

The right technique to comply with a data compliance need isn't necessarily to have acceptable security processes and techniques. To meet and sustain compliance standards, an appropriate, individual strategy must be designed based on the structure and operations of the firm. The developed rules and processes may be altered as time goes on. Regular data analyses will highlight places that require development, giving you the chance to make the necessary adjustments.

3. Control employee and data compliance participation

People working at your organization must pay attention to and adhere to the procedures and rules in order for them to be implemented properly. Regardless of how much the company has spent on technology and other data protection elements, the adherence plan cannot function without the employees abiding by the specified regulations. Additionally, they must be capable of resolving concerns with compliance and enforcing rules as necessary. Employees need to understand how crucial it is to follow the rules and what harm and penalties result from breaking them.
