The U.S. Department of Justice will implement new regulations on April 8, 2025, to protect sensitive personal and government-related data from foreign adversaries. The rules limit data transactions with countries of concern, including China and Russia, aiming to prevent adversaries from profiling, tracking, or coercing U.S. citizens and officials. With penalties for noncompliance, companies handling sensitive data must quickly assess and secure their data activities. The DOJ’s move addresses growing risks from AI and big data analytics used in national security threats.
