Explanation
FISMA (Federal Information Security Management Act) of 2002 specifically mandates that each U.S. federal agency develop, document, and implement an organization-wide program for information security to protect its information systems and data assets. HIPAA applies to healthcare organizations, GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) applies to financial institutions, and SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) governs financial reporting for public companies - none of these target federal agency information security programs.
