On June 10, 2021, China officially passed China’s first Data Security Law, which will go into effect on September 1, 2021. The move means that compliance is becoming increasingly important and complicated for companies operating a business in China or with data originating from China. While waiting for additional implementation rules, enterprises with data that has originated from China should start assessing their exposure to the risk of data leaks, unauthorized data exportation, and other violations in this new compliance environment, and seek professional advice.
