EDI data validation ensures that the document formats and data integrity are accurate and comply with standards. It does not directly impact the speed of transactions, format conversion, or automatic error resolution.
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) affects how personal data, including EDI data that involves personal information, is handled in the European Union. HIPAA is relevant to healthcare data in the U.S., SOX pertains to financial reporting in the U.S., and PCI-DSS focuses on payment card data security.
PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliance ensures the security of payment card data during transmission and storage. It does not address data mapping, EDI format standardization, or transaction processing efficiency directly.
Maintaining an audit trail helps track and verify EDI transactions, which is essential for troubleshooting issues and ensuring compliance with regulations. It does not affect document formatting, software updates, or redundancy directly.
To ensure the security of EDI data in transit, encryption and digital signatures are commonly used. These methods protect the data from unauthorized access and verify the integrity and authenticity of the messages. Plain text communication is insecure, and relying only on firewalls or unencrypted storage does not provide adequate protection for EDI data.
