Florida’s regulatory landscape
The Florida Information Protection Act (Fla. Stat. § 501.171) requires notification as soon as possible, and no later than 30 days after discovery of the breach, with notice to the Florida Attorney General required if more than 500 residents are affected. Florida 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 Florida — not four vendor relationships.
