Re: Pre-Breach Requirements - 18 States

["j.price" <j.price () DOMAIL MARICOPA EDU>]

Hi all,

From what I have learned through different sources is that you must 
follow the breach notification rules for each state that you provide 
distance learning to one of their residents.

These laws apply whether you are an educational institution or a 
corporate entity. Each state's law can vary on who you have to report a 
breach to, time lines, how the notification letter is written and what 
details are provided.

If you have a large breach, you are better off to contract with a 
company that handles breaches on a regular basis and avoid all the hassles.

Regards,
Janet
