The Data Breach Crisis: An Executive Briefing on Information Security Risk Management

In an effort to fight the growing threat of Identity Theft, state and federal agencies are increasingly imposing statutory fines and penalties on those in non-compliance with various data privacy laws and regulations.  For example, FACTA, HIPAA, FERPA, and GLBA already dictate how you must use, secure, and protect the confidential information of customers, clients, patients, students and employees.  The fines and penalties associated with these laws are significant and they are in addition to the damage claims your victims may seek through litigation. 

South Carolina is also one of 46 states which have passed Breach Notification Laws that impose strict notification requirements on businesses that experience a data breach.  The direct costs and negative reputational effect of breach notification alone can be devastating to your business.

Ben Taylor, CEO of AssureSouth, Inc., a prominent independent insurance agency in Spartanburg, and  Taylor Smith, AssureSouth’s Chief Privacy Officer and a licensed attorney, will brief Spartanburg Area Chamber of Commerce members on Data Breaches and how to Assess, Reduce, and Transfer this Risk.
