I’ve been on the road a lot lately. Literally, I’ve been in the car, traveling along every kind of road, alongside virtually every type of vehicle you can imagine. And I sometimes found myself noticing things about the people who were driving all those cars, trucks and motorcycles. The motorcyclists were the ones I found most interesting, but not for the reasons you may be thinking.

I noticed that while some bikers rode with the bare minimum of physical protection, others wore full helmets and visors, with heavy leather gloves, boots and jackets. That got me thinking about what it really means to be compliant, whether you’re cruising down the road on two wheels or trying to ensure that your business is compliant with all the applicable laws regarding data security and privacy.
