Compliance requirements affect technology deployment by mandating adherence to industry and regulatory standards related to data protection, security, and privacy. Organizations must ensure their technology solutions are compliant with measures such as GDPR, HIPAA, or SOX, which often dictate how data is collected, used, and stored. These requirements can influence technological choices, as companies may need to implement specific tools or practices to maintain compliance. Failure to adhere to these regulations can result in significant penalties and reputational damage.
