What You Need To Know About Shield ACT

• The New York Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic
  Data Security Act (Shield Act) was passed on July
  25, 2019 as a revision to the New York State
  Information Security Breach and Notification Act.
  The law comes into effect on March 21, 2020.

Why is the SHIELD Act critical?

• The Shield Act is critical because it has
  extraterritorial application which means it
  covers all individuals, employers, or companies,
  irrespective of location, that collect private
  info on New York residents. Earlier, data breach
  notification requirements were limited to those
  that perform business in New York.

Who has to comply with the SHIELD Act?

• The SHIELD Act largely needs that any person or
  business that owns or licenses computerized data
  which encompasses private info of a New York
  resident shall develop, execute and maintain
  judicious protections to safeguard the security,
  privacy and honesty of the private info,
  including, but limited to, the disposal of the
  data.
