After to moving to DC the beginning of August, I’ve focused in on my beat: how laws and regulations affects IT operations.
I described how Anne Marguiles is approaching her role as the CIO of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, focusing on innovation, privacy and security.
I reported on the amendment of the Massachusetts data protection law.
I wrote a digest of some of the debate in the blogosphere, positing that standards aren’t security, when it comes to PCI compliance and Heartland’s data breach.
Prompted by the work of a contributor, I asked what online privacy expectations exist for social media use at work?
Afterwards, I published a series on social media and compliance, focusing first on online privacy regulations, then the ECPA and online privacy and finally drafting a social media and online privacy policy.
Recently, I blogged about how a Twitter security hole highlights need for a social media policy today.
It’s been a great first month in Washington. I look forward to the return of Congress in September.

That’s interesting, social sites like Twitter grow so quickly that many people don’t realise the security problems and how hard it is to keep any business compliant to relevant standards.
