The Language of Compliance

The Language of Compliance is the biggest (3,500+ entries), and the best (the only glossary endorsed by the Unified Compliance Framework) resource for acronyms, terms, and extended definitions. Authored by the internationally acclaimed and award winning authoring team of Dorian Cougias and Marcelo Halpern, this is the glossary that more IT professionals turn to than any other. It covers the terms found in HIPAA, SOX, GLB, CobiT, ISO 17799 and 27001, BCI, BSI, ISSA, and over 100 other regulatory bodies and standards agencies.

The Language of Compliance is an "excellent source of information when trying to find common ground for compliance documents and discussions. Soon to become the de facto standard for defining compliance terminology" says William E. Carter. "It is absolutely an essential tool for anyone serious about compliance - we use the glossary for creating our definitions in policies and procedures" states Lawrence Penne. "Best of its kind" states James Davis.
