Rhode Island’s regulatory landscape
Rhode Island’s Identity Theft Protection Act (R.I. Gen. Laws § 11-49.3-1 et seq.) requires notification within 45 days of discovery of the breach, with notice to the Rhode Island Attorney General required if more than 500 residents are affected. Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island — not four vendor relationships.
