Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
GDPR is a comprehensive data protection regulation that applies to all organizations that process the personal data of individuals residing in the European Union, regardless of their location. This regulation aims to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals by regulating the collection, use, and processing of personal data (see ISC2 Study Guide, Domain 1).
While the GDPR regulates the collection and use of public data, the GDPR defines privacy and data protection, but predates the GDPR and aims to establish legal requirements and obligations. Finally, GDPR is a separate regulation from HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and does not specifically implement it.
