Stay ahead of data security regulations with nCipher solutions.
Constant scrambling to achieve and maintain compliance with data security regulations can drain resources away from core business processes. Organizations need reliable, scalable data protection to efficiently comply with regulations—now and into the future
nCipher solutions enable organizations to quickly deploy and manage encryption without disrupting existing processes. Here’s how nCipher solutions address several major regulations and standards:
| Regulation or Standard | What the Regulation Means | nCipher Solutions |
|---|
| Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) |
PCI DSS defines strict security requirements for the processing, storage, and transmission of cardholder data. Compliance must be validated periodically, and failure to comply can result in fines or even the termination of the ability to process credit cards. |
Easily integrated for fast deployment, nCipher encryption solutions enable compliance by protecting stored cardholder data, encrypting it for transfer, and restricting access. You gain the ability to secure data in even the most transaction-intensive environments. Learn more about nCipher solutions for PCI compliance, including database encryption and key management.

| Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) |
Enforced by eight federal agencies, GLBA requires financial institutions to meet standards for protecting accountholders’ financial data. Institutions and personnel that fail to comply face severe civil and criminal penalties. |
By protecting accountholder data wherever it is stored or transferred, nCipher solutions help institutions achieve and maintain GLBA compliance. Centralized key management enables quick deployment across applications and devices. Learn more about public key infrastructure (PKI) and database encryption solutions for GLBA compliance.

| Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) |
Organizations that maintain personal healthcare records must comply with HIPAA’s security standards to protect patient data. Noncompliance can lead to fines and even criminal penalties. |
nCipher solutions enable organizations to comply with HIPAA by better protecting patient data during storage and transfer. They integrate easily with your existing systems, applications, and processes, keeping disruption and costs to a minimum. Learn more about PKI and time stamping solutions for HIPPA compliance.

| California SB 1386 and other data breach notification laws |
Almost all U.S. states now require organizations to notify customers when their personal information has been lost or stolen. In addition to legal liability, businesses face potentially massive brand damage through negative media coverage. |
nCipher delivers a fast, effective way to encrypt data within databases and tape-based backup systems. If data is encrypted, California and many other states provide safe harbor and do not require customer notification. Learn more about tape and database encryption solutions for preventing data breaches.

| European Union Data Protection Directive |
EU Directive 95/46/EC requires EU member states to establish standards related to the use of personal data. Failure to meet these requirements can bring swift and disruptive action from a country’s regulators. U.S. companies operating in Europe must follow the directive’s safe harbor rules. |
nCipher provides the centralized management, encryption, and auditing capabilities needed for global data protection deployments in which multiple regulatory compliance laws apply. Learn more about PKI and key management solutions for EU Data Protection Directive compliance.
