Answer Options
A
FISMA
B
PCI DSS
C
HIPAA
D
GISRA
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
The Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) specifically applies to government contractors. The Government Information Security Reform Act (GISRA) was the precursor to FISMA and expired in November 2002. HIPAA and PCI DSS apply to healthcare and payment card information, respectively. Additionally, PCI DSS is not a law, while FISMA, HIPAA, and GISRA are all laws.
