Three Issues of Data Compliance Governance in China Based on Case Analysis

Abstract

With the rapid development of China’s digital economy and increasingly stringent global data protection regulations, corporate data security and compliance have become key factors that determine the competitiveness and sustainable development of enterprises. However, China’s data compliance governance still faces three main challenges: inadequate self-regulation of corporate data compliance, imperfect internal management system, and the risk of violations throughout the entire data lifecycle. To address these issues, China needs to comprehensively improve data security and compliance of Chinese enterprises by improving the system to strengthen corporate behavior guidance, intensifying internal compliance mechanisms, and identifying the compliance process for data processing. Based on the world’s most typical legal systems related to data security and corporate compliance, and drawing on local Chinese judicial cases, this paper provides an in-depth analysis of the current challenges faced by Chinese enterprises in data security compliance. Finally, the paper explores and proposes a comprehensive governance path. Through the implementation of the comprehensive measures proposed in this study, Chinese enterprises now have practical guidance in the increasingly complex data security environment, thereby promoting their stable and sustainable development.
