Data Privacy Law

Over the past few years, there has been an increased demand by state and federal government to mandate organizations tighten their security protocols to safeguard the confidential and private information of consumers. Which notable data breaches that have occurred by large and small organizations, many states, especially Massachusetts, have enacted strict data privacy law. Massachusetts has enacted one of the most comprehensive data privacy laws, 201 CMR 17:00, to protect the Personal Identifiable Information (PII) of Massachusetts residents.

The Massachusetts Data Privacy Law has set a new level in state security laws by regulating private entities that handle resident's sensitive data, regardless of where the entity is located. This law is intended to bring entities into alignment with both federal and industry laws including Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLBA), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
