From Arizona to Wyoming: An Inventory of State Laws


What do you need to be compliant in your state?


An article review.


ServIcons_ITAudit_01

One subprocess to incident response many of our banking Clients are currently wrestling with is how to address customers living in “other states.” If we’re on the border between Indiana and Ohio, we already know the laws of these two states and have incorporated these laws into our incident response plans (and fortunately both states exempt banks from compliance.) But what if we have one customer who resides in Florida? Alaska? Rhode Island?

We have found an inventory of state laws that seems to be rather current. It is actually a subset of a larger guidance document about FERPA, something our school Clients are concerned with, so we have excerpted just the inventory for our bank Clients:

  1. I would be afraid to use this listing from states that only talks about student privacy. Are you saying what schools need to do is identical to financial banks?
