Regulatory Map
Data privacy and artificial intelligence are among the most actively regulated areas in technology. Understanding the frameworks governing how data can be collected, stored, and transferred, and how AI can be developed and deployed, across jurisdictions is imperative.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does regulatory coverage matter for technology investments?
Data privacy, AI governance, cybersecurity, and industry compliance obligations are embedded in nearly every modern business. They shape product decisions, customer engagement, and revenue. When a company operates across jurisdictions without a clear understanding of its regulatory exposure across these domains, the result is unchecked risk: fines, forced operational changes, or deal-killing liabilities discovered during diligence. For investors, regulatory posture is a direct indicator of operational maturity and risk.
What regulations does the map cover?
The map covers four categories of regulation across 120+ frameworks worldwide. Data privacy includes the EU's GDPR, California's CCPA/CPRA, Brazil's LGPD, Canada's PIPEDA, and dozens of other national and sub-national laws. AI governance covers the EU AI Act, China's algorithm and generative AI regulations, South Korea's AI Basic Act, and US state-level AI laws addressing algorithmic discrimination, transparency, and automated decision-making. Cybersecurity includes the EU's NIS2 Directive, the US CIRCIA and CMMC frameworks, Singapore's Cybersecurity Act, and national cyber strategies across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. Industry compliance covers frameworks like DORA for financial services, SOX, Basel III, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. Coverage is continually expanding as new frameworks are enacted worldwide.
How current is the regulatory data shown here?
Regulatory data is sourced from official government publications and authoritative legal databases. The dataset is updated periodically to reflect new legislation, amendments, and enforcement changes. For time-sensitive compliance decisions, we recommend validating against the relevant regulatory authority's most recent publications.
How should I use this tool during due diligence?
Start by identifying every jurisdiction where the target company operates, collects or processes data, deploys AI systems, or maintains critical infrastructure. Use the map to surface applicable regulations across data privacy, AI governance, cybersecurity, and industry compliance in those regions, then cross-reference the target's compliance posture against each framework's key requirements. This gives you a structured view of regulatory exposure across all four domains, highlighting gaps that could translate into remediation costs, integration delays, or post-close liabilities.
Does GST provide regulatory compliance advisory?
Yes. The Regulatory Map is one component of GST's broader technology diligence capability. When regulatory exposure is identified during an engagement, whether in data privacy, AI governance, cybersecurity, or industry compliance, we assess the scope of non-compliance, estimate remediation costs, and build those findings into our overall risk analysis and integration roadmap.
