The Global Regulatory Convergence: A Catalyst for Smarter Compliance
As digital technologies and threats transcend borders, the global convergence of regulatory frameworks is no coincidence. Governments and regulators are recognising the need for consistency as cyberattacks, data breaches, algorithmic bias, and systemic failures in digital infrastructure are no longer local concerns but are global risks that require harmonised solutions.
This is evident in the development of regulations such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), the Artificial Intelligence Act, and cybersecurity rules like NIS2. With other regions adopting similar principles of transparency, accountability, and resilience.
