Beyond PCI and HIPAA: How Feroot Powers California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) Compliance

Yes—if your website, app, or other online platform interacts with users located in California, CIPA may apply, even if your business is not physically based there. Enforced under California Penal Code §§ 631, 632, 632.7, and 637.2, CIPA was originally designed to stop wiretapping and unauthorized call recording. Courts are increasingly applying it to digital communications, including web chats, form submissions, and user behavior tracking. The challenge?

Beyond PCI and HIPAA: How Feroot Powers Australian Privacy Act (APA) Compliance

Yes—if your website collects data from individuals located in Australia, the Australian Privacy Act (APA) may apply, even if your company is not based there. This law is enforced by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) and governs how “APP entities” handle personal information—including that collected by websites, apps, scripts, and third-party services.

Beyond PCI and HIPAA: How Feroot Powers General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Compliance

Yes. If your website is accessible in the EU and collects any user data—through forms, cookies, session recordings, pixels, or embedded scripts—then GDPR likely applies.

Modern web apps expose personal data through invisible front-end technologies like third-party JavaScript, ad tags, tag managers, and behavioral trackers.

Set It and Forget It: How Feroot's PaymentGuard AI Automates PCI 6.4.3 & 11.6.1 With Zero Dev Effort

Compliance effort often comes from manual spreadsheets, one-off audits, and error-prone documentation processes. Requirements like PCI DSS 6.4.3 (script inventory and justification) and 11.6.1 (tamper detection and alerts) demand continuous monitoring — something legacy tools and manual processes struggle to provide. Legacy CSP and manual reviews are inadequate against modern threats such as Magecart attacks and dynamic script injections, increasing risk and operational cost.

Thousands of WordPress Sites at Risk After Gravity Forms Breach

A critical vulnerability in the popular Gravity Forms WordPress plugin has led to widespread malware injections across thousands of sites.

What's the Cheapest Way to Comply with HIPAA Online Tracking Technology Rules?

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) clarified in 2022 and again in 2023 that tracking technologies like Meta Pixel and GA4 can expose Protected Health Information (PHI). This applies even if PHI isn’t explicitly shared—contextual data such as appointment searches or logged-in status on a patient portal can qualify.
