This blog serves as your guide to understanding some of the key European cybersecurity regulations and how they can impact your business.

Key Regulations to Consider:

The Importance of Compliance:

Failing to comply with European cybersecurity regulations can lead to significant consequences, including:

• Hefty fines: Non-compliance with GDPR can result in fines of up to €20 million or 4% of a company’s global annual turnover, whichever is higher.
