How do you stay compliant with data security rules?

With so many regulations around data privacy, I’m worried that my current system isn’t good enough. How do you personally make sure sensitive records are both secure and compliant?

At first, compliance felt like a headache to me. I didn’t know if my storage methods would pass an audit. But once I started treating compliance as part of everyday security, things got easier. I implemented encrypted storage, secure transfers, and access restrictions. A resource that helped me understand this better was https://www.akappleug.org/. It explained how using multi-layer authentication and encryption not only protects records but also makes compliance checks smoother. Since I began following those steps, audits are no longer stressful, and clients feel more confident in how I handle their data. In my experience, strong security and compliance go hand in hand. If you focus on locking down files properly, compliance often comes naturally. It’s not about ticking boxes — it’s about building trust.
