What is driving demand for vulnerability assessment products is the increasing amount of federal regulation, including the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These regulations require companies to put a plan and process in place that identifies how the company is complying with the regulations - in other words keeping healthcare information secure (HIPAA), managing the financial information of public corporations (SOX) and protecting clients personal financial information (GLB). In order to comply, you need solutions for auditing and documenting compliance with these regulations.
Minimally, there are three steps to ensure compliance: assess risk of current network situation, manage and control risk using vulnerability assessment and management tools, document to prove that the proper security measures are being completed on a regular, ongoing basis.
