Europe Leads the Way in Regulation: Why Other Regions Lag Behind
Jun 22, 2025

Europe has become the global benchmark for compliance and digital identity regulation. With frameworks like GDPR, AMLD6, and eIDAS, the EU enforces transparency, accountability, and secure data handling across industries.
Meanwhile, other continents — particularly in Latin America, Africa, and parts of Asia — still operate in fragmented or emerging regulatory landscapes.
This gap creates both risks and opportunities: risk for businesses expanding internationally, and opportunity for tech providers that can harmonize compliance standards globally.
