What Role Does Regulatory Compliance Play in Data Security?
Regulatory compliance is a critical component of data security in toxicology. Regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) set standards for data protection and privacy. Compliance with these regulations ensures that organizations handle toxicology data responsibly, protect individual privacy, and avoid legal penalties. Regular compliance audits and updates to security policies are necessary to meet evolving regulatory requirements.
