Note from the Editor:
This month we are pleased to provide you with an in depth look at Corporate
Compliance issues that are now facing American businesses.
All four authors provide a critical analysis of the complexities associated
with managing compliance risk.
Because of the great feed back and strong interest which the legal, tech and
business communities have shown in the OnlineSecurity monthly newsletter we
will now be providing you with an even broader editorial selection.
In the coming months you will find interesting reports on Computer Forensics,
Internet Investigations, Working with Expert Witnesses, Rules of
Digital Evidence and the new emergence of Corporate Espionage.

Challenged to Comply!
Brian Rose, Director of Business Development - Fios, Inc.
Acting as a “compelling event” in the adoption of new breeds of risk management
and corporate compliance products and services are the recently highlighted
fraudulent business practices occurring within many of America’s Fortune 1000
corporations. Governmental and regulatory investigations have identified,
secured, and utilized significant amounts of incriminating evidence from
within the corporate Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. Purposeful
fraudulent activities aside, second-level effects are now beginning to trickle
down into thousands of well run corporations that operate within highly regulated
market sectors. For many, their only “questionable act” is a commitment to the
deployment of technologies and business practices that promise to improve workforce
productivity, client and supplier relationships, and shareholder return.

Market Driven Compliance
By Glen Hastings, Director of Business Development – OnlineSecurity
Twelve months ago, compliance was barely on corporate America’s radar, but now companies,
big and small, are scrambling to ensure their compliance with a myriad of overlapping,
sometimes contradictory, and incredibly complex Federal and State regulations. The names
of the laws, (Sarbanes Oxley, Graham Leach Bliley, HIPAA, FERPA, Patriot Act, and now SB 1386)
have entered the lexicon of Corporate America, and there is a burgeoning industry in providing
regulatory compliance solutions. Regulatory compliance, however, is only the tip of the iceberg.
In general, the government moves very slowly, and the final legal interpretation of any law may
not be known for years. On the other hand, economic markets and their underlying
competitive forces are significantly faster and more nimble. Thus, while regulatory
compliance will remain important, market driven compliance will become a more
dominant factor in the ultimate shape of corporate compliance.

Compliance: Lessons from the Front Lines
By Cheryl Santor, CISM, CISSP, CISA, CCNA, CNE
Every organization is faced with Compliance in today’s business environment.
The current hot legislation is the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation passed by Congress
directly due to the scandals at Enron and WorldCom. This bill will have CEOs and
CFOs sign attestation to the soundness of their organization’s financial stability.
In California, a leader in passing new legislation for regulations and compliance,
there are two new bills passed almost simultaneously called Senate Bill 1386 and
Assembly Bill 700. These two bills will enforce reporting to customers in a timely
manner when databases or systems are compromised containing “customer non-public
information.” The US Patriot Act is another legislation passed to provide more
investigation of private information with fewer restrictions to somehow insure
against cyberterrorism; however, it seems to throw citizen’s privacy out the window.
