Explanation:
FISMA: The Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) defines a framework of guidelines and security standards to protect government information and operations. Every Federal agency—Civilian, Defense, or otherwise—has security compliance requirements that must be met on an annual or ongoing basis. For civilian agencies, the Federal Information Systems Management Act (FISMA) defines those requirements.
HIPAA: Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) rules are a set of guidelines and regulations established to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronically protected health information. The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals‘ medical records and other individually identifiable health information (collectively defined as “protected health information”). The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 is a United States Act of Congress enacted by the 104th United States Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton on August 21, 1996.
GLBA: The Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act (GLBA), also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, is an act of the 106th United States Congress. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires financial institutions – companies that offer consumers financial products or services like loans, financial or investment advice, or insurance – to explain their information-sharing practices to their customers and to safeguard sensitive data.
SOX: The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) is an act passed by the U.S. Congress in 2002 to protect investors from the possibility of fraudulent accounting activities by corporations. Although SOX applies primarily to financial and accounting practices, it also encompasses the information technology (IT) functions that support these practices. SOX can be supported by reviewing logs regularly to look for signs of security violations, including exploitation, as well as retaining logs and records of log reviews for future review by auditors.
