As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, organizations are compelled to adopt proactive measures to safeguard their assets and comply with regulatory requirements. Threat intelligence has emerged as a vital component in both cybersecurity and compliance strategies. As such, this paper explores the role of threat intelligence in helping organizations meet evolving regulatory standards, such as GDPR, CCPA, and the NIS2 Directive, and also outlines how it can be leveraged to improve risk assessment, incident response, and reporting. Moreover, this paper categorizes threat intelligence into four main types: strategic, operational, tactical, and technical, each serving distinct purposes from shaping long-term strategies against cyberattacks. By integrating threat intelligence into compliance frameworks, organizations can enhance their ability to proactively detect and mitigate threats, streamline regulatory reporting, and align their security efforts with business objectives.
