[All CCSP Questions]

Which of the following is NOT a major regulatory framework?

  • A. PCI DSS
  • B. HIPAA
  • C. SOX
  • D. FIPS 140-2
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
FIPS 140-2 is a United States certification standard for cryptographic modules, and it provides guidance and requirements for their use based on the requirements of the data classification. However, these are not actual regulatory requirements. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Sarbanes-
Oxley Act (SOX), and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) are all major regulatory frameworks either by law or specific to an industry.

My choice is answer "D". FIPS 140-2 is important, especially for government agencies and their contractors, it is not a broad regulatory framework that applies to a wide range of industries or organizations. Instead, it is a specific set of guidelines and requirements related to cryptographic security.

Frameworks created by a group of industries are also considered regulatory (in that sector). PCI is mandatory for companies processing card payments.

Also, the key work in the question is 'major'. That's why FIPS is not the answer.

PCI DSS is a regulatory framework; while FIPS-140 is just a standard which has four levels.

I agree, PCI is not even created by the government. FIPS should be the answer.
