Hi Cliff,

Can you tell me if your attorneys have determined that you have to comply with all 50 (or 46) state requirements rather 
than merely your own state?  This has been a discussion here and I’m interested in what EDUs are thinking on this.
Jane

Subject: Pre-Breach Requirements - 18 States

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!
