Lexa Regulatory Master Glossary
-
I. Green Energy & Climate Tech Compliance -
FTC Green Guides U.S. Federal Trade Commission guidelines that govern environmental marketing claims. All “green,” “sustainable,” or carbon-related statements must be substantiated with competent and reliable scientific evidence to avoid greenwashing enforcement actions. -
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Landmark U.S. legislation providing hundreds of billions in tax credits, grants, and incentives for clean energy and climate tech. Marketing and GTM strategies must accurately signal IRA eligibility and compliance to unlock procurement and partnership opportunities. -
SEC Climate Disclosure Rule U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission requirements for public companies to report climate-related risks, greenhouse gas emissions, and sustainability metrics. Vendors and partners must demonstrate alignment and data transparency to meet buyer due diligence standards. -
Greenwashing Risk & Verifiable Impact The practice of making unsubstantiated or misleading environmental claims. In 2026 regulated B2B markets, credible climate tech positioning requires third-party verified data, lifecycle analysis, and audit-ready proof points to build trust and avoid legal or reputational penalties.
-
II. Healthcare & Digital Health -
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) Federal law establishing national standards for the protection of protected health information (PHI). HIPAA's Privacy and Security Rules govern how healthcare organizations handle patient data — and place strict constraints on how vendors and partners may reference, collect, or process PHI in their marketing, outreach, and content programs -
FDA Claim Substantiation U.S. Food and Drug Administration requirements governing therapeutic, diagnostic, or clinical outcome claims for medical devices, SaMD (software as a medical device), and healthtech solutions. All marketing language must be supported by appropriate clinical evidence. -
CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) The federal agency that administers Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children's Health Insurance Program. CMS reimbursement policy — particularly around digital health services, remote patient monitoring, and value-based care models — directly affects the commercial viability and positioning of healthtech products. Understanding CMS policy changes is a significant source of thought leadership for healthtech B2B companies. -
Clinical Validation Documented, real-world evidence that a healthtech or medtech solution consistently performs as intended in clinical or operational environments — the gold standard for credibility and procurement approval in regulated B2B healthcare.
-
III. Fintech & Financial Services -
SOC 2 Service Organization Control 2 — the leading compliance standard for fintech and financial services vendors. It proves controls for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy — essential for winning enterprise contracts. -
GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) U.S. federal law governing how financial institutions collect, use, and protect consumer financial data. Marketing and sales materials must demonstrate clear privacy protections to avoid regulatory scrutiny. -
FinCEN AML / BSA Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and Bank Secrecy Act requirements mandating anti-money laundering programs, KYC/AML processes, and suspicious activity reporting for any fintech handling financial transactions or customer funds. -
Regulatory Signaling The practice of embedding verifiable compliance credentials (SOC 2 reports, AML readiness, etc.) into positioning, thought leadership, and demand programs to accelerate buyer trust and shorten enterprise sales cycles in regulated financial services.
