Beyond Borders: Clarifying Your Compliance in a Globalized World

Introduction

In today’s hyper-connected economy, non-financial risk management begins with one essential question:
“What rules do we actually need to follow?”

Many businesses operate across multiple jurisdictions. Yet few know exactly which laws apply—and how to reconcile overlapping regulatory systems.

A Real-World Example

Imagine this scenario:
You're a U.S. company with operations in Switzerland, processing personal data of EU residents.

Which privacy law applies?
- Switzerland’s FADP?
- The EU’s GDPR?
- Or both?

Traditionally, the legal view is: Apply both.

But at GlisRisk, we challenge this blanket approach.

Our Position: Prioritize Impact over Duplication

If the impact of your data processing is overwhelmingly within the EU, it makes sense to apply only the GDPR, rather than burdening your organization with the strictest clauses from two systems.

Applying every law “just in case” can lead to:
- Unnecessary compliance costs
- Lost business opportunities
- Reduced competitiveness

Our Method: Clarity Over Compliance Paralysis

We combine:
- Substantive comparative law (what the rules say)
- Choice-of-law frameworks (which rules should apply)

...to deliver business-relevant clarity.

Conclusion

Whether you’re navigating privacy, cybersecurity, antitrust, or AI regulation, the path forward starts with legal certainty—not legal overload.

That’s our job at GlisRisk: to simplify your risk landscape so you can focus on growth.
