Texas’s regulatory landscape
Texas’s data breach notification law (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 521.053) requires notification without unreasonable delay and not later than the 60th day after the date the breach is determined. If 250 or more Texas residents are affected, the Texas Attorney General must be notified within 30 days. Civil penalties range from $2,000 to $50,000 per violation, plus up to $100 per day per affected person for notification delay, capped at $250,000 per breach. Texas 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 Texas — not four vendor relationships.
