Constantly updating technology coupled with the dynamic and evolving nature of data breaches may be stalling notification laws from becoming uniform across the United States.
The World Law Group (WLG), a network of 53 independent law firms, released the “Global Guide to Data Breach Notifications, 2013” in mid-November, a hundred-plus page report compiled as a go-to global resource for how breached entities are legally mandated to respond to incidents involving a loss of client information.
The report will be particularly helpful to breached organizations and consequently impacted clients in the U.S. who are unclear of their rights, especially since regulations vary across the states. Additionally, the report explores data breach notification laws in numerous other countries.
