Regulatory Compliance Management
Helping Protect Information Integrity and Security
Regulatory Compliance is a reality for every organization today, as you address the maintenance of the integrity of your IT systems and the confidential information they contain. Growing external threats compound that challenge, and both internal and external policies must be established to conform to standards and laws that have been clearly defined. The most significant regulation in this context is the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002 which defines significantly tighter personal responsibility of corporate executive management for the accuracy of reported financial statements for all public businesses.
There are a number of other regulations such as GLBA, FISMA, HIPAA, PCI and FDCC that are designed to secure and protect consumer financial information, government information and assets and personal medical records. These regulations greatly impact organizations (financial services, government and health care related, retail, among others) that must provide for the integrity, confidentiality and availability of sensitive information, while also providing audit-worthy proof of compliance in their day to day operations.
