    1. To build HIPAA compliant software, developers need to be aware of and comply with several key requirements outlined in the HIPAA Privacy Rule and Security Rule. These requirements are designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected health information (PHI) and to prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of PHI.

      Building software compliant with HIPAA standards necessitates a deep understanding of its Privacy and Security Rules to safeguard protected health information effectively.

    1. This ensures that GetResponse and our customers comply with Anti-Spam laws.

      IMHO, the customer should be able to opt out of this automatic adding if they want more/full control over the footer. Then they can take on the responsibility themselves.

    1. For compliance reasons, you will not be able to see contacts who submit spam complaints in your exclusion list.  We do not offer the ability to export a list of spam complaints from FBLs at the moment. This is also for compliance. 

      "For compliance reasons". That's pretty vague. Compliance with what?

    1. Information is blocked from going outside the organization when data is not supposed to leave the tenant boundary for compliance purposes (for example, in U.S. Government organizations: Microsoft 365 GCC, GCC High, and DoD). Reporting a message or file to Microsoft from one of these organizations will have the following message in the result details: Further investigation needed. Your tenant does not allow data to leave the environment, so we could not find anything with an initial scan. You'll need to contact Microsoft support to have this item reviewed.

      seemingly contradictory:

      You'll need to contact Microsoft support to have this item reviewed. But they already tried to report it to Microsoft and it was blocked? What form of contacting Microsoft support is expected to be used and how is it better? Won't any form of "having this item reviewed" cause it to leave the boundary and go outside the organization?

    1. ReconfigBehSci. (2022, January 9). Just a thought on this and the general vaccine mandate debate.

    1. Efforts to clarify and disseminatethe differences between “privacy as advocacy” (e.g.,privacy is a fundamental right; privacy is an ethicalnorm) and “privacy as compliance” (e.g., ensuringprivacy policies and laws are followed; privacyprograms train, monitor, and measure adherence torules) help frame conversations and set expectations.

      This is an interesting distinction... privacy-because-it-is-the-right-thing-to-do versus privacy-because-you-must. I think the latter is where most institutions are today. It will take a lot more education to get institutions to the former.

    1. Is Agile/SCRUM Modern Slavery? https://en.itpedia.nl/2021/11/30/is-agile-scrum-moderne-slavernij/ What do you say Modern Slavery? Yes, when I first read the Agile Manifesto, I felt an unease. Especially when I also read the 12 accompanying principles. I realize that I am making extreme statements in this article, but they are intended as a mirror and to reflect for ourselves what we are actually doing.

    1. CodeGuard's systems are currently operating under these regulations and are in full compliance.
    2. CodeGuard relies upon industry best practices to protect customers’ data. All backups and passwords are encrypted, secure connections (SFTP/SSH/SSL) are utilized if possible, and annual vulnerability testing is conducted by an independent agency. To-date, there has not been a data breach or successful hack or attack upon CodeGuard.

    1. But there is still somewhat of a tension between serving those requirements and making sure the business can make a profit, and also ensuring that the expense of complying is adequately funded but not too expensive.

    1. you have less direct control as you must rely on the vendor’s adherence to IAB’s guidelines for compliance.
    2. Directly blocking the vendor scripts (using another prior blocking method), then executing them only after consent has been collected. This method requires more implementation work and it’s a bit slower in terms of execution time, but it allows personalized ads to be served from the first page view (where consent hasn’t been collected yet) and gives you more direct and solid control in regards to ensuring compliance.

      pros:

      • allows personalized ads to be served from the first page view (where consent hasn’t been collected yet)
      • gives you more direct and solid control in regards to ensuring compliance.
    1. “meet the minimal requirements that we set based on European law” — which they define as being “if it has no optional boxes pre-ticked, if rejection is as easy as acceptance, and if consent is explicit.”
    1. Ryan said he believes the GDPR has resulted in a “game of chicken” between the tech industry and regulators, where companies are trying to see what they can get away with and doing the bare minimum — without taking meaningful action or, often, actually complying with the law.
    1. You need to provide the ability for users to look at cookies individually, so they need to be listed (and that can be quite a lot of work in major systems). You’re allowed to define some cookies as “necessary for the correct functioning of this product”, usually cookies that store session related data. After all, if a user opts out of those, they can’t meaningfully use the web site, or that part of the site.But you have to be honest about it. You can’t, for example, define marketing or analytic cookies as necessary, and you have to allow users to opt out from them. Those don’t stop the site from functioning, it just reduces the data you can collect about site use.

    1. The warning came in the wake of a Justice Department investigation of the role that certain Swiss banks had played in helping United States citizens evade federal taxes.

      I am surprised the New York Times did not mention the IRS Voluntary Disclosure Program for Offshore Assets. According to the IRS, "voluntary programs have resulted in more than 45,000 voluntary disclosures from individuals who have paid about $6.5 billion in back taxes, interest and penalties." (See IRS June 6, 2014 Press Release available here

      There is a good chance that some of the tax-payers tax structures analyzed in preparation for this article came into compliance through it. To make matters worse, the NY Times reported on it numerous times since its first incineration in 2009— with the latest Jan. 10 2012 on page B6, available at — which only makes this passing mention of investigations by the Department of the Treasury that much more disappointing.
