 Gramm-Leach-Bliley

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), also known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act, enacted on November 12, 1999, states that compliance is mandatory, whether a financial institution discloses nonpublic information or not, and there must be a policy in place to protect the information from foreseeable threats in security and data integrity. GLBA regulates the sharing of personal information about individuals who obtain financial products or services from financial institutions. Docuzon provides a safe, secure delivery transport medium for customer compliance with GLBA regulations.

UETA

The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) is a United States Uniform Act proposed by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL). UETA has been adopted into the laws of practically every state. Its overarching purpose is to bring into line the differing state laws over such areas as retention of paper records, and the validity of electronic signatures, thereby supporting the validity of electronic contracts as a viable medium of agreement. The Docuzon certified document delivery service provides a secure transmission vehicle to electronically sign documents that satisfies UETA's requirements. Docuzon makes it possible for a document originator sending a document to receive a valid electronic signature from the signer that maintains the same validity and enforceability as manual signatures and paper-based transactions.

E-SIGN

The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) (Public Law 106-229) is a United States federal law passed by the U.S. Congress to facilitate the use of electronic records and signatures in interstate and foreign commerce by ensuring the validity and legal effect of contracts entered into electronically. This federal law establishes the guidelines for interstate commerce. The general intent of the E-SIGN Act is that a contract or signature “may not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form”. This simple statement provides that electronic signatures and records are just as good as their paper equivalent, and therefore subject to the same legal scrutiny of authenticity that applies to paper documents.

FAR

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) is a series of regulations issued by the Federal government of the United States that concern the requirements of contractors for selling to the government, the terms under which the government obtains ownership, title, and control of the goods or services purchased, and rules on specifications, payments and conduct and actions regarding solicitation of bids and payment of invoice 4.502 (a). The Federal Government shall use electronic commerce whenever practicable or cost-effective.

HIPAA

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1996. HIPAA protects health insurance coverage for workers and their families when they change or lose their jobs. HIPAA also requires the establishment of national standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, health insurance plans, and employers. Docuzon takes the steps necessary to implement reasonable administrative safeguards within its own operations and qualified as a HIPAA “business associate”.  The Docuzon Service incorporates the relevant required technical standards of HIPAA’s Security Rule

Sarbanes-Oxley

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (commonly called SOX or Sarbox) is a United States federal law passed in response to a number of major corporate and accounting scandals that resulted in a decline of public trust in accounting and reporting practices. Sarbanes-Oxley provides several provisions.
