This month, I am taking a look at the differences between ‘Regulatory Compliance‘ and ‘Operational Readiness‘ through a series of videos.
|
Regulatory Compliance The efforts to check the boxes before audits – often mandated by an industry (e.g. HIPAA), corporate (SOX) or legal (DOD 5.015.2-STD). |
Operational Readiness The IT efforts to ensure that key IT systems and data are resilient through high availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR) or business continuity (BC) technologies and services. |
Last week, I did an overview of the dichotomy between regulatory compliance and operational readiness (BC/DR/HA). For the next few weeks, I will take closer looks at specific segments of companies and their respective regulations.
This week, let’s take a look at the regulations that affect US financial institutions (SEC) and publicly-held companies (SOX).
Week 2: Publicly-held Companies and Financial Institutions
Next week, we’ll look closer at what IT professionals delivering data protection in healthcare organizations should know about HIPAA.
Thanks for watching.
