# Regulation Regulation refers to the framework of rules and directives established by governing bodies to manage and control various activities within society. These rules are designed to maintain order, protect public interest, and ensure fair practices by setting standards and compliance requirements. Regulations can span multiple sectors, including finance, healthcare, and environmental protection, influencing how organizations operate and interact with stakeholders. In the realm of data, regulations play a pivotal role by guiding data management practices and ensuring compliance with legal standards. Adhering to these regulations helps organizations safeguard data integrity and protect individual privacy rights.
