| California SB 1386 |
|
On Sept 25, 2002, California approved Senate Bill 1386 into law mandating public
disclosure of computer-security breaches in which confidential information
of ANY California resident may have been compromised. This law covers every
enterprise, public or private, doing business with California residents,
regardless of their location. It also dictates that if the business maintains
computerized data, but does not own the data, that business must notify the
owner or licensee of the information of the breach and that the data owner
owns the problem, regardless of what state they reside.
Come July 1, 2003, customers injured by a violation
of this title may institute a civil action to recover damages. Any business
that violates or proposes to violate this title may be enjoined. The risk
of civil liability has become more real than ever. Under this law's mandatory
reporting requirement, companies whose security is breached face potential
liability expenses and public damage to their corporate integrity. Sanctum's solutions
have secured over 400 Global 1000 customers' data by eliminating exposure to theft,
and ensuring the protection of core information and personal data.

| GLBA (Gramm - Leach - Bliley Act) |
|
Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (also known as the Financial Services
Modernization Act) requires financial institutions to ensure that customer
information is protected from cybercriminals, and to provide detailed Security
Policies to customers and regulators. The Federal Trade Commission defines a
financial institution as any organization that works with people's money. The
Safeguards Rule, which went into effect in 2003, requires that institutions take
proactive steps to ensure the security of customer information. This act recognizes
that privacy policies are meaningless without security policies.

| HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act) |
|
The Administrative Simplification section of HIPAA mandates a new
security policy to protect an individual's health information, while
permitting the appropriate access and use of that information by health care
providers, clearinghouses and health plans. As part of a broad Congressional attempt
at incremental health care reform, HIPAA sets mandates for security standards and guidelines to
standardize and increase electronic data exchange (EDI) in order to facilitate
a more efficient exchange of information throughout the health care system.
HIPAA sets distinct regulations for both the privacy requirements for information
to be kept confidential, and the security standards to ensure that it does.

today that can ensure accelerated compliance to HIPAA.
