Enforce Compliance with GLB, SOX, HIPAA, & Other Regulations

Increasingly, global enterprises face laws and regulations governing the secure handling of confidential information. In the United States, Gramm, Leach, Bliley and Sarbanes-Oxley apply to most corporations. Laws such as the Health Insurance and Portability Act (HIPAA) and Basel II apply to specific industries. The costs of inadvertent or malicious leaks of regulated information are high: repairing the direct damages and mitigating the negative impact on corporate image may be compounded by regulatory fines, restitution, civil judgments, or imposed audits.

These laws do not specify how to implement solutions. But they do have much in common. They are concerned with processes for handling data in a secure and traceable manner. The processes focus on customer, patient, or corporate data. They encompass data generated internal to an enterprise as well as data from external sources.
