Target Audience:
CIO, COO, CEO, Board of Directors
Management responsible for ensuring that all private data is secure, responsible for data privacy
technology deployments, process management and education.
In today's economic environment, expectations are high that an organization uses data in ways that
maximize benefits to their clients, customers and constituents. This data can include order details,
purchasing history, demographics, financial accounts, health information and literally thousands of
data points, many of which are considered sensitive. This state of technology has not gone
undetected by ambitious criminals who lie in waiting for the slightest vulnerability that they can
exploit into their personal gain. Many states have passed legislation designed to prevent this
exploitation of an individual's private data. Following the path forged by the Health Insurance
Portability and Availability Act ("HIPAA"), private data has expanded to include information that
points to any specific financial or demographic item that is not explicitly publicized or granted access
permission by the individual.
Regulations define very specifically what you must do to reduce the chance that privacy of these
data elements will be compromised. Recently passed laws expect organizations with either a business
presence in their states, or those that have customers, employees, contractors, or business
partners who reside in their respective states adhere to these regulations. That means that you may
not need to have presence in the state to be subject to its laws.
These specific items expected for these organizations often include:
