On Monday, August 17, 2009, the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation (OCABR) indicated that it will be modifying some provisions of the strict Massachusetts information security regulations first promulgated last year, 201 CMR 17.00 et seq. Of most immediate concern to many businesses, OCABR will extend the deadline to comply with the regulations from January 1, 2010 to March 1, 2010.
