Protecting Yourself and Your Clients with Stronger Regulatory Compliance

Recent federal and state laws and regulations mandate how companies must protect, store, and access information. Failure to comply can be a serious matter, potentially leading to heavy fines or even imprisonment for corporate officials; you need to protect your customers, your partners and yourself. Yet compliance can be complex and costly

For example, The American Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) created a set of rules to be followed by health plans, doctors, hospitals and other health care providers regarding patient account handling, billing, and medical records. A person who wrongfully discloses individually identifiable health information could face fines, imprisonment or both. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, among other provisions, requires company officers to attest to the accuracy of financial reports and imposes heavy penalties for compliance failures. To comply with these laws and others, business must create, maintain and provide adequate security and privacy over records and information handling processes, many of which are specific to particular industries.
