For the better part of a decade, doing business under EU digital law has been challenging, with DDPR, ePrivacy updates, the NUS2 Directive, the AI and Data Acts, and others coming in rapid succession. For organizations already investing heavily in compliance frameworks like CMMC, the prospect of layering on yet another set of requirements has been a frustrating layer of work.
