Does 000 5015.2 certification guarantee compliance with other regulations like HIPAA?
A. No. It is important to distinguish between regulatory compliance and the DoD 5015.2 standard. The DoD standard represents baseline functionality for records management applications (RMAs) used within the Department of Defense. It serves as the de facto standard for records management applications across government and industry. However, it is a records management standard and not a broad regulatory compliance standard. DoD-5015.2 certification facilitates compliance by supporting the application of systematic records policies; it cannot however guarantee compliance. Compliance is a process dependent on the application of records policies.
