    The data policy trap in global mergers

    When consolidating international business units, build data governance standards around these core requirements: Core Standards to Establish: Unified data classification across all regions (public, internal, confidential, restricted)Clear data ownership with accountability matrix across merged entityData quality metrics with global baselinesUnified access control (IAM/RBAC) respecting regional privacy lawsMaster retention schedule balancing shortest legally-required retentionPrivacy-by-design meeting highest regional requirement (typically GDPR)Data residency mapping (EU data in EU, China data in China, etc.)Standardized audit trails and cross-regional compliance reportingUnified breach response with region-specific legal timelinesThird-party vendor governance compliant across all jurisdictionsCritical Regulatory Floors: GDPR (EU): Strictest standard; build around consent, subject rights, DPAs, DPIAsPIPL (China): Requires in-country data storage and processing; prohibits cross-border transfersLGPD (Brazil): GDPR-similar with narrower legitimate interestCCPA/CPRA (California): Opt-out consent modelIndia: Emerging strict localization requirementsImplementation Strategy: Audit existing regional policies and identify gapsAdopt the strictest requirement for each governance area across all regionsCreate regional addenda layering jurisdiction-specific rules onto global standardsDeploy data mapping tools, DPA automation, consent platforms, unified audit loggingKey Principle: The strictest regional requirement becomes your global standard.
