Multi-Regulation Privacy Compliance

The global privacy regulatory landscape is expanding rapidly. GDPR set the standard for comprehensive privacy regulation in 2018, and since then, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD, PIPL, POPIA, PDPA, and dozens of state and national privacy laws have been enacted. Organizations that operate in multiple jurisdictions, serve customers in different countries, or process data subject to industry-specific regulations like HIPAA and GLBA must comply with all applicable regulations simultaneously.

Each regulation has different definitions of personal data, different consent requirements, different data subject rights, different breach notification timelines, and different enforcement mechanisms. Managing these differences through separate compliance programs for each regulation is unsustainable and creates gaps at the intersection of overlapping requirements.

The pace of regulatory change adds urgency. New state privacy laws in the US are enacted every legislative session, international regulations are amended and interpreted through enforcement actions, and new countries adopt comprehensive privacy frameworks. Organizations need a compliance approach that adapts to regulatory changes without requiring a complete overhaul of their privacy program each time.

IQWorks provides a unified compliance platform that manages multiple privacy regulations through shared data protection controls. ComplyIQ maintains a comprehensive regulatory requirements database that maps the specific requirements of each applicable regulation to the organization's data processing activities.

ClassifyIQ simultaneously classifies data against all applicable regulatory definitions, so a single data element is tagged with its GDPR category, CCPA category, HIPAA category, and any other applicable classification. ProtectIQ applies protection controls that satisfy the most stringent applicable requirement, ensuring compliance with all regulations simultaneously.

ComplyIQ generates regulation-specific compliance reports, evidence packages, and audit documentation from the same underlying controls. When new regulations are enacted, the platform maps new requirements to existing controls, identifies gaps, and recommends remediation actions.
