HIPAA
HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act,
was signed into law in 1996 (PS-104-191). Designed to combat fraud
and abuse in health care, standardize health-care transactions and
implement privacy controls on patient records, HIPAA applies to all
health-care providers that conduct electronic transactions for health
claims and related information. Because HIPAA is cast in very
general terms, the burden of proof - interpreting and documenting
compliance - frequently falls on the IT staff and can add considerable
complexity and costs to an already stressful position. |

GLBA
On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act (GLBA) into law. Section 501, "Protection of Nonpublic Personal
Information" mandates various safeguards:
Ensure the security and confidentiality of customer data
Protect against any reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such data
Protect against unauthorized access to or use of such data that would result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer
Expetec Colorado Springs fulfills the reporting requirements developed by the
FDIC, FRB, OCC, NCUA and OTS for bringing your infrastructure
in compliance with GLBA. |

SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 holds CEO's and CFO's
of publicly held companies responsible for the accuracy of financial
statements and financial information issued by their companies and
for explaining their internal financial control procedures. It is
loosely considered part of internal financial control procedures
and auditors look at security and some of the mechanisms employed
in intrusion monitoring as a preventive effort for ensuring data
integrity. Expetec Colorado Springs helps companies automate the reporting and
documentation process, reducing the cost of instituting the
appropriate security mechanisms and preparation of audit trails. |
