Overview | Checklist | Regulation | Downloads | Request a Consultation

The deadline for compliance with 201 CMR 17.00, the new Massachusetts state law regulating personal data security, is January 1, 2010.

If you store any personal information (names along with social security numbers, drivers license numbers, financial account numbers etc.) including information on your own employees, subcontractors and customers this law applies to you.

Data theft is real and it can destroy your business. A breach involving even a small amount of data can mean the loss of tens of thousands of dollars in fines and civil judgments against your company, not to mention the loss of your customers’ trust. Compliance with CMR 17.00 isn’t just about following the letter of the law, it’s about taking sensible and proactive steps to safeguard your business.
