As a cybersecurity enthusiast, I've created this comprehensive guide exploring the compliance landscape through GrocerDel, a fictional grocery delivery startup. This repository is my attempt to understand and document essential regulatory frameworks, security protocols, and best practices for modern digital businesses.
