Strong fit for US enterprise GRC selection and implementation: dates, legal status and affected workflows are connected to concrete acceptance tests and operating responsibilities. Extensive official-source research captures several superseded or suspended planning assumptions. Coverage is deliberately selective rather than an exhaustive legal inventory; newly announced HTI-5 details, pending rulemaking, court developments and organisation-specific exemptions require follow-up. Search terms are integrated naturally without turning the report into a vendor-ranking or pricing page.
