Time running Out for Massachusetts Employers to Comply with Data Security Regs

If you own, license, maintain, store or process the “personal information” of a Massachusetts resident – including that of your own employees – time is getting short for compliance with the Massachusetts data security regulations. Our colleagues in our Privacy and Security group have published a Privacy and Security Alert regarding the upcoming March 1 deadline. Also, check the link in the right navigation column of Mintz Levin's Privacy and Security Topics Blog for updates and additional compliance information.
