This study examines the increasingly complex environment of government regulations and industry standards that drives concerns about the accuracy and protection of an organization's data and information not only with employees but also with customers, partners, and contractors. Organizations are faced with addressing compliance issues surrounding Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), FFIEC, PCI, and other federal regulations and guidelines, not only in the United States but also globally. This concern has created a new market that IDC has defined as security compliance and control (SCC).
