Information Security Breaches: Privacy Laws and Procedures

By Melissa J. Krasnow and Randolph M. Perkins
May 30, 2007

Part Two of a Two-Part Series

Part One of this series discussed security breach notification laws. The conclusion addresses security procedures laws.

In addition to the California security breach notification law, California was the first state to enact a security procedures law (A.B. 1950), which became effective Jan. 1, 2005. This law requires that a business implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices to protect personal information. A few other states, namely 1) Arkansas, 2) Nevada, 3) Rhode Island, and 4) Texas, also have enacted security procedures laws.

Shifting Crypto and Cyber Enforcement Priorities In SEC Image

When the SEC issues the next annual enforcement report for fiscal year 2025, we expect securities offering actions and investment adviser actions will almost certainly be up, and the “crypto” and “cyber” cases will almost certainly be down. Public statements by the new SEC administration have said as much, but even more telling than public statements are the allocation of limited enforcement resources.
