New FISMA, HIPAA, and SOX guidance published by IT Governance

New guidance on US-specific information security legislation has been published by IT Governance.

BOISE, IDAHO, USA, August 26, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- New guidance on US-specific data protection and information security legislation has been published by IT Governance, the global leaders in IT governance, risk management, and compliance (IT-GRC).

The new content offers US businesses in-depth guidance on the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX).

Alan Calder, Founder and Executive Chairman of IT Governance, said, “Effective information governance is of profound importance in America – it can literally make or break a company. We’ve provided this new guidance to help US organizations that are struggling to understand and/or comply with federal data privacy legislation, and to secure the way they manage their data.”

IT Governance has a strong track record in helping organizations from around the world strengthen their information security management systems (ISMS), while aligning them to government or contractual requirements. In fact, Calder and his colleague Steve Watkins, Director of Training and Consultancy at IT Governance, were the first in the world to implement an ISMS in line with the international information security standard, ISO27001 (then BS7799).

The new content from IT Governance offers a unique aggregation of information, including details of the acts, key requirements, penalties, and advice on compliance. To create this content, IT governance used their unique insight into the US data protection industry, primary sources of all the legislation, and various relevant sources. Comparably comprehensive free information is unavailable elsewhere on the web.

FISMA, HIPAA and SOX are some of America’s biggest legislation in terms of securing data and are applicable across all 50 states. For advice on complying with these legislation, visit IT Governance’s website:
