Washington’s regulatory landscape
The Washington State Data Breach Notification Act (RCW § 19.255.010) requires notification in the most expedient time possible, and no later than 30 days after discovery of the breach — one of the strictest deadlines in the country. Notice to the Washington Attorney General is required if more than 500 residents are affected. Washington 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 federal and defense contractors.
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 Washington — not four vendor relationships.
