Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) pertains to organizations that handle credit card transactions and is an industry-regulatory standard, not a governmental one. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) was passed in 2002 and pertains to financial records and reporting, as well as transparency requirements for shareholders and other stakeholders. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed in 1996 and pertains to data privacy and security for medical records. FISMA refers to the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 and pertains to the protection of all US federal government IT systems, with the exception of national security systems.

SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act) is not a regulatory system from the United States federal government. SOX is a corporate governance law that was enacted in 2002 in response to a number of accounting scandals at major companies. The law sets out certain requirements for public companies, including the need for independent audits and improved financial reporting. SOX does not pertain to privacy or data regulation specifically. The other three options (HIPAA, FISMA, and PCI DSS) are all regulatory systems from the United States federal government. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a law that protects the privacy of individuals' health information. FISMA (Federal Information Security Management Act) is a law that establishes a framework for securing federal government information systems. PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a set of security standards for organizations that handle credit card information.

The act recognized the importance of information security to the economic and national security interests of the United States. The act requires each federal agency to develop, document, and implement an agency-wide program to provide information security for the information and information systems that support the operations and assets of the agency, including those provided or managed by another agency, contractor, or other source.
