whitepaper Optimizing Your IT Controls Environment for Compliance with Multiple Regulations2006-09-12 12:24:44 Symantec
  This IDC white paper focuses on the compelling need for today's businesses to understand how they can more efficiently manage multi-regulation compliance. It reviews certain regulations and how to track which pieces of what regulations are fulfilled when security solutions are deployed.

The paper:

  • Reviews a subset of regulatory legislation and industry standards
  • Illustrates common overlaps in certain regulations and standards
  • Offers a "best practice" option for tracking certain aspects of each regulation and ensuring each is covered by a corresponding technological solution

The small subset of regulations and standards covered in this white paper include CobiT, HIPAA, ISO 17799:2005, ITIL, the PCI Data Security Standard, and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX). They are the focus of IDC's research because they affect a large number of corporate entities and their customers. (Sponsored by Symantec)

  
whitepaper The Emerging Threat of Legal Liability for Failure to Prevent Spyware Attacks2006-04-13 04:10:20 Morrison & Foerster
  Threats that at one time seem remote may mutate rapidly into immediate, high-risk conditions that must be addressed if security incidents - and resulting litigation - are to be avoided. The latest such threat is the set of software-driven intrusions referred to generically as "spyware." Until quite recently, many dismissed spyware as an annoyance for consumers rather than a threat to business networks and the valuable information they contain. Today, spyware must be viewed as a priority threat that requires a state-of-the-art response. This paper focuses on two laws, and two sets of implementing regulations, that undoubtedly will be used to require businesses to implement anti-spyware measures: the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLBA"), and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act.

whitepaper Data Backup and Compliance Legislation: Three Reasons to Get It Right2005-10-25 03:00:03
  The amount of data used by today's businesses has increased exponentially from just five years ago. Corporate scandal, international unrest, and glaring security flaws in computer operating systems and software applications have resulted in a much more intense and detailed analysis of data as it enters and leaves the enterprise. Fortune 500 companies have been vilified in the press for reckless data stewardship, and in some cases of outright fabrication of financial and performance reports. In extreme cases, executives are now lounging in Federal facilities, denying to the bitter end that they had any knowledge of the blatant misrepresentation for which they were held accountable.   
whitepaper Computer Recording and Monitoring Technology Increases Productivity2005-09-27 03:00:03 Telrex
  The Federal Trade Commission's Safeguards Rules, the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) now require that companies subject to these rules and regulations establish a comprehensive information security plan, which in many cases requires the recording of certain types of computer communications. Businesses are now taking charge of unproductive employee activity by using software like IntelRex to actively record, monitor and measure how much time employees are spending per day on the web, email and instant messaging, thus allowing management to calculate how much money non-productive activity is costing them.
