Statutory Compliance

Statutory compliance involves adhering to laws passed by legislatures (statutes/enactments). Examples include, but are not limited to:

FISMA for federal agencies (and contractors);
FACTA (Fair & Accurate Credit Transactions Act) covering credit and ID theft; and
GLBA, HIPAA, SOX and state privacy laws.

Organizations must align policies, controls and evidence to satisfy statutory mandates and avoid legal penalties.
