Wherever sensitive corporate or personal information is divulged, stored or distributed, security regulations rightfully abound. Compliance with the complex regulatory requirements enacted by both the public and private sectors is no easy task. While the "why" of most regulations involve privacy issues, the "how" regarding the assessment and implementation of security measures can vary significantly from one industry to the next.
