Policy-management tools, such as BindView Policy Operations Center, bring together policy templates linked to specific requirements of GLBA and HIPAA. These templates can be used to form a written policy that addresses legal requirements. In the case of GLBA, it can be tailored for the size and complexity of your organization. For HIPAA, it can scale to the cost of the solution. These policy tools not only apply the law, they also suggest industry practices to bring you toward compliance. For example, if your enterprise uses WLANs, BindView suggests IEEE WLAN security features, including WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), and MAC (Media Access Control) filtering to protect customer information and assets. It also includes asset-protection standards for devices, such as firewalls and routers, and operating systems. --Sean Doherty
