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. In addition, Utah has passed such a law, which became effective Jan. 1, 2007. Again, for purposes of the utility of any overview, and because this California law also serves as the model for a number of the other state laws, a step-by-step analysis of this law is also set out here for consideration by landlords and managers.
