KEEPING UP WITH CHANGING CYBER REGULATIONS

All 50 states now have data breach laws in place, and several states including Massachusetts have recently amended their statutes.  This means business owners must understand the varying regulations in each of the states in which you write business.

The ACT Agency Cyber Guide 2.0 contains many resources and is free to you as a member.  One resource in particular that we link to can help explain each state's statutes; the Mintz Matrix.  This matrix details each state's statute, the state's definition of a breach, who is covered, how quickly businesses are required to notify customers of a breach, and potential penalties.
