The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has implemented a new Data Security Program aimed at protecting Americans' sensitive data from foreign adversaries. This initiative was detailed in guidance issued by the DOJ and discussed extensively at the 2025 International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) Global Privacy Summit. Key figures such as FTC Commissioner Holly Holyoak and legal experts including Orin Kerr from Stanford Law have highlighted the importance of this program in enhancing privacy enforcement and innovation. The DOJ's program emphasizes compliance, particularly for sectors like medical device companies, which must prioritize adherence to the new data security requirements. The summit also featured discussions on U.S. federal and state cybersecurity enforcement, underscoring the evolving regulatory landscape. The program and its implications for global business and privacy enforcement were analyzed by legal professionals from firms such as Orrick, WilmerHale, and Hogan Lovells.
