Charlie Brown struggles to understand the meaning of compliance. His friends try to help by encouraging him to direct the compliance program and get a compliance tree. However, the tree Charlie Brown chooses dies, disappointing his friends. An angel then appears to compliance analysts to deliver the message that new laws and regulations have been passed to improve information security and reduce data breaches, bringing the true meaning of compliance.

8. And there were compliance analysts watching out in the fields, when suddenly a Compliance Angel appeared unto them, and the glory of Compliance shone around them, and they were sore afraid. But the Compliance Angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. for I bring you good tidings of joy that will be for all the people. For unto you this day, in the state and national legislature, new laws and regulations have been born. And this will be a sign to you: You will find these new laws in all states, though they may not be uniform or agree with the national ones. And these shall give great hope for improved information security and reduction in breaches." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared praising the laws and saying, "Glory be to Compliance in the highest, and on earth, information security to all men"
