Scholars can perform in-depth studies on breaches by utilizing the extensive data that is offered by the annual examination of data breach notification regulations. Through a comparative analysis of these statutes’ provisions across states and over time, researchers can pinpoint patterns, discrepancies, and opportunities for enhanced data breach response frameworks. They can evaluate the effects of changes in notification requirements on breach detection, reporting, and mitigation. Examples of these modifications include notification deadlines and reporting thresholds. Researchers can also compare the efficacy of these rules to real-world breach results, like the degree of data exposure or the promptness of response actions. Researchers can better understand the advantages and disadvantages of the existing data breach notification regulations thanks to this data-driven methodology, which also helps to generate policy recommendations for improving
