31 Aug Week 2: Compliance with Laws and Regulations
Review the Week 2 readings and the Red Clay Renovations company profile for background information before responding to this discussion question.
The Red Clay CEO tasked the company’s IT Governance Board with developing a set of policies to address IT security requirements (including mandates for protecting privacy) arising from the following rule or standard:
(a) PCI-DSS (credit card and transaction information)
(b) the HIPAA Security Rule (health related information)
(c) the “Red Flags” Rule (consumer credit information: identity theft prevention).
Choose one of the three sources of regulatory requirements listed above. Write a three-paragraph briefing statement that summarizes the regulatory requirements as they apply to the company’s collection, processing, management, and storage of personal information about Red Clays clients. Your briefing statement should identify the specific types of personal information covered by the “rule” or “standard.” Include a compelling argument for why the company needs to adopt guidance policies that will ensure compliance with laws and regulations related to protecting personal information.
Provide in-text citations and references for 3 or more authoritative sources. Put the reference list at the end of your posting.
Make sure you use the discussion rubric as well as the above information to ensure you include all the required elements in your discussion response.
