International cybersecurity and data protection

Copyright © 2025 LexisNexis

When dealing with matters in various different jurisdictions, the Getting The Deal Through guides (GTDT) provide guidance, by way of a series of questions and answers. In the case of international cybersecurity and data protection & privacy, the GTDT guides offer important legal insight into cybersecurity and data protection & privacy in various jurisdictions, including the United States, Japan, Germany, France and China. In doing so, they address various issues, including the definition of cybersecurity in each jurisdiction, regulatory authorities responsible for enforcing cybersecurity rules, the legislative framework for the protection of personally identifiable information (PII) in each jurisdiction, as well as rules governing the transfer of PII outside the jurisdiction.

International comparator tool

The International comparator tool is designed to allow lawyers to compare legal differences across two or more jurisdictions in any given practice area. Using information from the GTDT guides, it can generate answers to your comparison requests. This is a valuable aid to uncover issues in cross-border matters and multi-jurisdictional issues.

The International comparator tool can be accessed here.

Gambling Commission imposes £650,000 penalty on NetBet for AML and social responsibility failures

The Gambling Commission has imposed a £650,000 financial penalty on NetBet Enterprises Limited, operator of netbet.co.uk, following an investigation that identified anti-money laundering (AML) and social responsibility failures. The AML failures included over-reliance on financial triggers allowing customers to spend disproportionally in relation to their net income, failure to identify concerning gambling behaviours as high risk, and omission of key risks from money laundering and terrorist financing risk assessments including third-party business relationships and high stakes gambling controls. Social responsibility failures encompassed inadequate customer interaction systems that failed to minimise gambling-related harm and delayed identification of harm indicators such as overnight play and velocity of deposits.

Gambling Commission publishes final report on illegal online gambling series

The Gambling Commission has published the fourth and final report in its series on illegal online gambling, titled ‘Estimating the size of the illegal online gambling market.’ The latest report highlights the methodological challenges of quantifying the market .due to limited reliable data and necessary assumptions, drawing parallels with estimating other illicit activities, such as the illegal tobacco trade. The report notes that while no single market-size estimate has been produced, the Commission’s work has strengthened the evidence base and understanding of consumer behaviour and illegal operator tactics. Findings show varied consumer motivations, a lack of awareness among some users, and no evidence of sustained growth in engagement with illegal sites.
