What Are The Best Practices for Compliance with
the SHIELD Act

• Many states have recently updated their data
  privacy laws to reflect new security threats and
  technological advancements. A New York
  legislation governing notification procedures for
  data breaches went into effect on October 23,
  2019. The Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data
  Security Act (SHIELD Act), which now covers
  businesses with operations in all 50 states, has
  a wider scope than the states prior data breach
  notification act.

Conduct routine data checks

• Organizations must conduct routine audits to make
  sure they are aware of any data they may hold on
  New York residents. To stay organised and help
  with compliance efforts, it would be very
  beneficial to maintain a separate spreadsheet
  that details the different types of data that
  could potentially be covered by the SHIELD Act.

3
Update Necessary Procedures and Policies

• Companies who maintain the personal information
  of New Yorkers on their systems should
  immediately assess and revise their breach
  notification procedures in light of the new
  regulation. The SHIELD Acts application and
  exclusion dates, as well as any special notice
  procedures, should be specified in updated
  policies.

4
Educate and train your workforce

• Businesses should always make sure their staff
  members are aware of the laws that apply to their
  daily operations. To acquaint staff with
  the SHIELD Act New York and ensure they are ready
  in the event of a breach, policies should be
  circulated, informational meeting and training
  sessions should be held.
