Maryland’s regulatory landscape
The Maryland Personal Information Protection Act (Md. Code, Com. Law § 14-3504 et seq.) requires notification as soon as reasonably practicable, and no later than 45 days after discovery of the breach, with notice to the Maryland Attorney General required before consumer notification. Maryland layers industry-specific rules on top — GLBA Safeguards Rule for financial firms, HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 for healthcare, and CMMC 2.0 / NIST 800-171 for the state’s defense-industrial base.
Sentry is built to detect and contain inside that statutory clock; Verity produces the evidence record an examiner or auditor can use. Armorstack runs one operating record across Verity, Core, Sentry, and Citadel for every regulated organization operating in Maryland — not four vendor relationships.
