In some cases, software must comply with special laws or regulations. This is especially true in areas where vulnerabilities are more likely to lead to significant harm (such as medical, financial, and military systems). This also arises if you are planning to sell software, or a system with software, in many different legal jurisdictions (so there may be many laws or regulations that apply). Examples include the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) for health-related data, and so on. Again, for our purposes these are all requirements.
