The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) compelled all 15 member states to implement data protection laws and authorities through the adoption of the Supplementary Act on Personal Data Protection in 2010. Again in 2011, the ECOWAS adopted a Directive on Fighting Cybercrime in 2011 to combat growing Cybercrime activities in the West African region. In response to  growing need for ICT infrastructures, Cybersecurity, and increasing Cybercrime, the ECOWAS  on 18 January 2021  adopted the regional strategy for cybersecurity and the fight against cybercrime . In a bid to unify data protection across Europe and give data subjects autonomy over their data, the European Union implemented the General Data Protection Regulation on 25 May 2018. It replaced the insufficient Data Protection Directive of 1995. The EU describes it as the "toughest privacy and security law" globally. Under the GDPR, data subjects have  right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, profiling, object to automated processing, and data portability.
