Firstly, it helps in protecting sensitive data from breaches and cyberattacks, which can result in financial loss and damage to reputation. Secondly, compliance is often a legal requirement, and failure to comply can lead to hefty fines and legal penalties. Additionally, being compliant can enhance customer trust and confidence, as it demonstrates a commitment to maintaining high standards of data security and privacy.
