Hawaii’s regulatory landscape
Hawaii’s data breach notification law (Haw. Rev. Stat. Ch. 487N) requires notification without unreasonable delay, with notice to the Hawaii Office of Consumer Protection required if more than 1,000 residents are affected. Hawaii 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 Hawaii — not four vendor relationships.
