If you are a startup or a small business owner, you may not know what regulation or legislation you need to comply with.
Here are a few pointers:
1. Do you use Google Analytics and/or Adwords? Do you track your web site users? If the answer is yes, Google requires you to have a privacy policy in place and this policy should contain certain information.
2. Do you do business in Europe? Then you must comply with the EU cookie and/or privacy laws.
3. Do you process credit cards online and/or in store? Then you need to have a PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliance strategy in place, and depending on the amount of credit cards processed you need to submit certain compliance documents to your credit card processor(s).
4. Do you know what to do in case of a security breach? If your site gets hacked, you are required to send certain notifications to your customer base.
5. Do you host health data on your site? Then you may need to comply with the HIPAA legislation, which should be taken very seriously.
