These regulations require organizations to handle personal data securely and maintain strict control over its processing, storage, and transfer. Compliance during migration ensures that:
- Data is Protected: Personal and sensitive information is handled with the highest level of security.
- Legal Obligations are Met: The organization adheres to all relevant data protection laws, avoiding legal penalties.
