In the fall of last year, we wrote about the passage of the SHIELD Act (the Act) in New York, which expanded aspects of the state’s breach notification requirements (Breach Requirements) and created a statutory obligation to maintain reasonable data security (Security Requirements). While the Breach Requirements went into effect on October 23, 2019, the new Security Requirements will kick in on March 21, 2020. As mentioned in our previous post, the SHIELD Act will require any business or person that owns or licenses computerized, “private information” (as broadly defined in the Act) of a New York resident to develop, implement and maintain reasonable safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of the information. In this post, we’ll focus on what the Act says about how a business can achieve compliance with the Security Requirements.
