Virginia’s regulatory landscape
Virginia’s data breach notification law (Va. Code § 18.2-186.6) requires notification without unreasonable delay, with notice to the Virginia Attorney General and consumer reporting agencies required if more than 1,000 residents are affected. Virginia 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 Virginia — not four vendor relationships.
