What are some core requirements of privacy regulations that the NetApp Cloud Compliance service helps customers meet?

The core requirement of privacy regulations that the NetApp Cloud Compliance service helps customers meet is the classification of stored data. Data classification is essential for understanding what types of data an organization holds, particularly with respect to privacy regulations, which often specify how different types of data must be handled, secured, and protected. By classifying data effectively, organizations can ensure compliance with various legal and regulatory requirements, such as GDPR, HIPAA, or CCPA, which mandate that sensitive information is managed according to its specific nature and risk profile.

Through classification, organizations can identify personal data, sensitive data, and other categories that may trigger specific obligations under privacy laws. This capability assists in implementing appropriate security measures and access controls, thus supporting compliance initiatives and audit requirements connected with data privacy regulations.
