On June 10, 2021, China's National People’s Congress Standing Committee passed the Data Security Law (the “DSL”) in order to standardize data processing activities, ensure data security, promote data development and utilization, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of individuals and organizations.

The DSL applies to the data processing activities and their security supervision within the territory of China. It also regulates data processing activities conducted outside of China that harm China’s national security or public interest, or the legal interests of citizens and organizations in China. The DSL primarily focuses on data security and lays out a number of obligations for organizations regarding data categorization and classification, data risk controls, contingency responses for data security, and data export controls.

The DSL is said to become effective on September 1, 2021, leaving less than three months for companies to adapt to the new data security law.

The solution

SECURITI enables organizations to comply with the DSL through AI-driven PI data discovery, DSR automation, documented accountability, enhanced visibility into data processing activities, and AI-driven process automation.
