Why each option
The question identifies the EU regulation focused on strengthening data protection for EU residents and regulating personal data export.
The NIS Directive focuses on cybersecurity for essential services and digital service providers, not comprehensive personal data protection.
The e-Privacy Directive (ePD) governs electronic communications and cookies but is less broad than GDPR for general data protection and export.
PCI DSS is a set of security standards for organizations handling credit card data, not an EU law for general data protection.
The European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive law that significantly enhances data privacy rights for individuals within the EU. It specifically addresses the processing of personal data and sets strict conditions for its transfer outside the EU.
