Compliancy
Compliancy (v) is derived from the word compliance which means, “the act or process of doing what you have been asked or ordered to do: the act or process of complying” The first known use of the word was in 1943, but compliancy became popularly used in 1996 when President Bill Clinton signed the The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA; Pub.L. 104–191, 110 Stat. 1936, enacted August 21, 1996). This is also around the time when compliancy and compliance became a relevant industry.

Compliancy as an Industry
The word compliancy is most often found in the context of the health care and health law industry, finance and banking industry, and credit card industry. Compliancy is mainly used to describe the self-auditing process, carried out to check for violations against many health care, health law, GLB, and PCI regulations including: HIPAA, HITECH, Omnibus,, PCI Compliance GLB Compliance, , and Meaningful Use Stage 1 Core Measure 15 and Meaningful Use Stage 2 Core Measures 9.

The compliancy industry interacts and helps to guide the health care and health law industry, finance and banking industry, and credit card industry to not only become compliant, but stay compliant for future auditing from either the State or Federal government as well as in-house industry regulatory bodies.
