Sounds like a question for Crowell & Moring, but for Massachusetts there are requirements that entities must meet 
before they take personal information.  (e.g. a Written Information Security Plan or WISP)

Mass does publish a checklist...  of course compliance != security, IANAL, and YMMV.

Hello Security Compatriots,
I was searching the web for info on which states have laws require some kind of breach notification and encountered 
this document from the law firm Crowell & Moring LLP:

    http://www.crowell.com/pdf/securitybreachtable.pdf

In the right-hand column is a yes/no section on required "pre-breach measures."  There are 18 states listed as having 
them. Anybody aware of these requirements? Have you done something about it?  If so, what have you done? It would be 
great to have a "template" to work from!
