Massachusetts Privacy Laws:
In Massachusetts, the primary regulation governing data security is 201 CMR 17.00: Standards for the Protection of Personal Information of Residents of the Commonwealth. This regulation mandates that any entity owning or licensing personal information about Massachusetts residents must develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive written information security program (WISP). The WISP should include administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information.
Additionally, under M.G.L. c. 93H, organizations are required to notify affected individuals, the Attorney General's Office, and the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation in the event of a data breach involving personal information. The notification must be made as soon as practicable and without unreasonable delay.
North Carolina Privacy Laws:
North Carolina's data protection is primarily governed by the Identity Theft Protection Act, codified in N.C. Gen. Stat. §§ 75-61, 75-65. This act requires businesses and state or local government agencies that own or license personal information of North Carolina residents to provide notice to affected individuals in the event of a security breach. The notification must be clear and conspicuous and given without unreasonable delay.
North Carolina Department of Justice
Furthermore, if a breach affects more than 1,000 individuals, the organization must also notify the Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General's Office and all consumer reporting agencies that compile and maintain files on consumers on a nationwide basis.
