"Compliancy" is a less common variation of "compliance," which refers to the act of conforming or adhering to rules, regulations, or expectations. It essentially means following a set of guidelines or standards.

Federal Information Processing Standards, generally set the standards for compliancy for cryptography modules . There are 4 security levels defined

Compliancy does not automatically equate to ethical behaviour. While behaving in a legally compliant manner is certainly a step towards being ethical, it is still possible to be unethical whilst being totally compliant with legislation.

PCI compliancy is needed by companies who recieve payments through credit cards. The standards used by PCI help keep customer payment information secure. In order to become PCI compliant, a merchant or business needs to be compliant with each major credit card company. A merchant must show that their data delivery system is secure and up to date. A merchant must also send in certain forms to PCI.

Not that complicated. The plaintiff will simply request the court to order the defendant/debtor to comply with the interogatories presented for discovery of the defendant's financial status. This would be a direct order of the court and non compliancy would result in a contempt of court charges against the defendant/debtor. Lying or misleading evidence on discovery documents results in perjury, also a very serious crime. The penalties for contempt of court and perjury are incarceration and substantial fines. FYI, this type of lawsuit often gets the attention of the IRS and state tax agencies.
