Data audit is a critical business practice in both Brazil and the USA, particularly following increased data protection regulations like GDPR (EU) and LGPD (Brazil). Organizations in São Paulo's financial district and Rio de Janeiro's tech hubs frequently perform data audits. In the USA, especially in New York, data audits are integral to compliance with regulations like HIPAA and SOX. The term has become increasingly important with the rise of cybersecurity concerns and data privacy awareness in both countries.
