The Law

The new Massachusetts data security regulations apply to businesses and other entities that collect or process such private information as individual Social Security and credit card numbers. 

By March 1, 2010, businesses that have such information must:

·          Create a written data security plan that identifies all sensitive information, security risks, and controls such as passwords

·          Designate an employee to be responsible for data security

·          Encrypt such information if it is stored on laptop computers or sent over the internet

·          Lock up computers or other equipment on which the information is stored

·          Train employees on security procedures

·          Ensure any outside parties that might have access to the information, such as contractors, are in compliance with the regulations,

·          Conduct an annual audit to ensure controls remain in place.
