Plain-English explanations of what each framework requires, who must comply, and what the penalties are. Built for business owners, compliance officers, and anyone who needs to understand regulatory requirements without a law degree.
Each guide covers who must comply, the core requirements, penalties for non-compliance, and how to build a compliance program.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Protects patient health information. Applies to healthcare providers, health plans, clearinghouses, and their business associates.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Financial reporting controls for public companies. CEO/CFO personal certification of financial statements. Required for all NYSE/NASDAQ-listed companies.
General Data Protection Regulation. EU data privacy law that applies to any business handling EU residents’ data — regardless of where you’re headquartered.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Workplace safety standards for construction, manufacturing, and general industry. Most cited: fall protection, hazard communication, ladders.
Securities & Exchange Commission / Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Registration, recordkeeping, and conduct requirements for investment advisors, RIAs, and broker-dealers.
Food Safety Modernization Act. Science-based preventive controls for food manufacturers, processors, importers, and transporters. Shifted FDA’s approach from reactive to preventive.
Most businesses are subject to multiple frameworks simultaneously. A healthcare company that employs staff, handles EU customer data, and is publicly traded must comply with HIPAA, GDPR, OSHA, and SOX — all at once. The free quiz identifies which frameworks apply based on your industry, size, and specific activities.
