China’s data protection laws don’t just fine companies they hold individual executives personally liable for violations.
That means your China General Manager could face criminal charges, not just corporate penalties.
The Risk Factors:
Non-compliance with the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), Data Security Law (DSL) and CSL
Mishandling “important” or “core” data
Failure to implement regulator-mandated security controls
Lack of documented compliance protocols and training
The Harsh Reality:
No Director & Officer (D&O) insurance policy will shield leadership from personal criminal liability under Chinese law.
At QTS Global, we build airtight compliance frameworks that protect both the company and the people who run it.
