It means there is money to be made helping companies comply, and that shapes how the law gets implemented in practice. Vietnam is building a data privacy framework from scratch. Who influences that process matters. Companies selling compliance tools have an incentive to make the rules complex enough to need them. People whose data gets protected are the ones worth watching out for here.
