Obligations

This section serves as a reference library for laws and other authoritative sources of legal obligations that can only be fully complied with by embedding them directly into the software stack. This section breaks down laws and relevant court cases on:

  • Data Privacy and Protection: Understanding the legal frameworks like GDPR and CCPA, and how they dictate data handling, storage, and security requirements within your software.
  • Cybersecurity Regulations: Navigating the complex web of cybersecurity laws and standards that require specific technical implementations to safeguard digital assets and user data.
  • Intellectual Property Compliance: Embedding IP compliance in software to avoid infringements and ensure the use of licensed technologies and assets.
  • Industry-Specific Legal Obligations: Tailoring your software stack to meet the unique legal requirements of regulated industries such as healthcare, finance, and telecommunications.

These are not just checkboxes to tick. These obligations underpin comprehensive requirements specifications that support the development of compliant products and features, and many cases influence how software is designed, developed, and maintained.

Whether you are a business leader, product owner or a member of a product team, this section provides you with the background to navigate the integration of these obligations into your product or supply chain.
