Sarbanes-Oxley: A Cross-Industry Email Compliance Challenge

The bulk of financial information in many companies is created, stored and transmitted electronically, maintained by IT and controlled via information integrity procedures and practices. For these reasons, compliance with federal requirements such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) is heavily dependent on IT. Companies that must comply with SOX are U.S. public companies, foreign filers in U.S. markets and privately held companies with public debt. Ultimately accountable for SOX compliance are the corporate CEO and CFO, who will depend on company finance operations and IT to provide critical support when they comply with the SOX requirement to report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

Alert: New HIPAA Rules Could Affect Your Organization

On April 21, 2005 (just over three weeks from today), a new Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) security rule goes into effect. The requirements of this rule, which are basically information security best practices, focus on the three cornerstones of a solid information security infrastructure: confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. The imminent HIPAA regulatory requirements encompass transmission, storage and discoverability of Protected Health Information (PHI). Given the widespread use and mission-critical nature of email, enforcement of HIPAA encryption policies and the growing demand for secure email solutions, email security has never been more important to the healthcare industry than it is right now.

GLBA: Raising Email Security Awareness

Just a few weeks ago, one of the world’s largest banks announced that it had lost computer data containing the personal information of an estimated 1.2 million federal employees, including some members of the U.S. Senate. The missing information includes Social Security numbers and account data for government employees who use the bank’s charge cards for travel and expenses. In the aftermath of these revelations, the ability of banks and other financial institutions to safeguard our personal information has been called into question by consumers and government alike. Predictably, we are beginning to hear the rumblings of additional legislation, but there have been laws protecting consumer financial information on the books for years – laws such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

The Anti Spam Challenge – Minimizing False Positives

As costly as spam is, the cost of incorrectly filtering legitimate email is much higher. Whereas some consumer anti spam solutions consider a small number of false-positives to be acceptable, in the business environment achieving zero false-positives is absolutely critical. The solution to this delimma is to develop anti spam solutions that learn and adapt to individual organizations.


2005: An Email Compliance Odyssey - Get your enterprise ready to comply with multiple federal information privacy laws
