Streamlining AI governance and compliance: How Zendata and Thoropass are revolutionizing regulatory solutions

With the accelerating pace of technological change, companies now face a critical need to navigate complex compliance landscapes and establish robust AI governance practices. A recent study revealed that 83% of organizations experienced a data breach in the last two years, and non-compliance penalties cost companies an average of $14.82 million annually. 

The stakes have never been higher, from ensuring regulatory adherence to maintaining ethical AI practices. Missteps can lead to significant risks, including a 28% drop in consumer trust following a compliance failure, fines exceeding 4% of global annual revenue under regulations like GDPR, and operational inefficiencies that slow growth and innovation.

Frameworks and regulations supported by the integration

The integration is designed to help organizations meet a wide range of global privacy regulations, industry-specific standards, and emerging AI governance frameworks. It offers a solution that simplifies compliance with today’s most critical and complex data-driven regulations.

For global privacy regulations, the integration supports compliance with frameworks such as GDPR, California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). These regulations require organizations to ensure that personal data is collected, processed, and stored with the highest levels of security and transparency. Zendata’s automated PII protection, data observability, and continuous monitoring help businesses maintain compliance with these stringent privacy requirements, ensuring that data protection is embedded throughout the data lifecycle.

In addition to privacy regulations, the integration assists with industry-specific standards such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which govern the security and confidentiality of sensitive financial and health data. Zendata’s advanced AI governance features and Thoropass’ compliance automation help businesses implement the necessary security controls and documentation to meet these standards, reducing the risk of non-compliance and ensuring data protection aligns with industry best practices.

Simplifying compliance workflows
