The Norwich University Journal of Information Assurance (NUJIA) contains many quality resources on IA issues including:Litigation Management as Part of a Comprehensive Compliance Management Program - A Perspective on the Federal Sentencing Guidelines Chapter 8 Sentencing of Organizations & An Interpretation With Respect To HIPAA Final Security Rule by Keith D. Willett, MScIA, CISSP, ISSAP.

The motivation behind information assurance (IA) is managing business risk. Business risk management, along with many other aspects, includes the need for compliance management. Compliance management is a preventive approach that attempts to mitigate the risk of violating a compliance requirement (e.g. legislation, regulatory, instruction, or directive). However, despite best efforts, there remains the potential of a judge or jury finding the organization guilty of a violation.
