Episode 4 — Master compliance foundations to anchor every legal decision
Establishing a firm grasp of compliance foundations is essential for any cybersecurity professional navigating the intersection of technology and law. This episode explores the core principles of corporate governance and the regulatory mandates that dictate how data must be protected and managed. Understanding the difference between mandatory legal requirements and voluntary industry standards, such as ISO 27001 or NIST, is a frequent theme in the GLEG curriculum. In practice, these foundations provide the "North Star" for making defensible decisions during a security incident or a litigation hold.

By mastering these basics, you ensure that your organization’s security posture is built on a legally sound and sustainable framework.
