Which of the following is true of laws governing the actions of IT professionals?

Answer

National laws have been enacted to govern the actions permissible of IT professionals.

Most laws governing IT professionals are geared more toward the actions of IT professionals.

HIPAA is an example of a law that protects personal information, which all people, including IT professionals, are required to follow.

There are no state or local laws that address information accessibility.

Explanation

HIPAA protects the privacy and security of certain personal health information, and IT professionals must follow it when their work involves that information. Choice A is too broad: laws generally regulate particular activities or fields rather than all permissible actions of IT professionals. Choice D is also false because state and local laws can address information accessibility.
