The funny thing is how every regulatory change in the universe finds a way to get applied to IT. For example, when I worked in PM/IT support for a big pharma, we started to get SOX forms that asked about DR, business continuity, and even anti-virus software. Hello? Wasn't Sarbanes-Oxley implemented in response to C-level malfeasance and high-level managerial misconduct? And now it includes anti-virus measures? People seize on these things to get resources and headcount for other purposes, and to demonstrate that they are indeed relevant. The beauty of regulatory typhoons like SOX and HIPAA, etc., is that they create a universe where you can say you have been productive when _nothing_ has happened, if you know what I mean.
