If you use a computer for managing information then, I strongly suggest you read this book. You need to know what laws and regulations governing agencies have put in place to protect personal, private, and confidential information in your cloud, personal computer system, and compute devices. For every piece of data, floating around in cyberspace a computer system has been developed to interpret the data, verify its legitimacy, protect its interest, and maintain its existence. Regulatory Agencies have created a set of expectations for companies who develop and operate computer systems in regulated spaces. It does not matter if your device is in a doctor's office, a server in an IT department, equipment on the manufacturing floor, automation in a business office or a cloud system managed by a third party offshore, you need to know what these agencies want from you and your computer system. Information creation, maintenance, and security are key contributors driving the steadily growing information marketplace. The more critical information we are exposed to, the more secure we see ourselves and the more confident we are about our decisions. We believe our self-image and the health of our business is related to the amount of essential information we have at our disposal. What we do not understand is that, if we neglect the rules for creating, protecting and maintaining information our growth could be eaten up in legal fees, government fines, levies and jail time. There is no shortage of information in the world. Volumes of legislation are being created every year to ensure that information is representative of the facts, free from misinterpretation, and falsification. Regulatory bodies use the same legislation to create healthy industry practices to promote good behavior for companies who are in the business of generating information. Very few people are aware that, computing technology design, development, testing, and maintenance are governed by laws, regulations, guidance, standards and funding priorities. You need to know the legislative spirit behind the enforcement of the regulations, policies, codes, rules, and standards governing personal, private, and confidential information in the cloud, personal computer, and compute devices. It is critical that we understand how these laws and regulations apply because; they provide the blueprints for building a system that will pass regulatory scrutiny. This book will make plain how governmental agencies promulgate policies that aid in the acceptance of Cloud and Computerized systems and It will help you understand how the mismanagement of personal, private and confidential information in corporations and small offices could lead to court disputes, penalties, debarment, and imprisonment.
