As of January 1, 2009, all companies that own, license, store or maintain personal information concerning any
Massachusetts resident must take comprehensive measures to protect that information from unauthorized
access, disclosure or misuse.
Although the new regulations impose a broad range of requirements, the most pressing compliance issue for
many organizations will be the new obligation to encrypt all personal information of Massachusetts residents
that is stored on any portable device which includes laptops, flashdrives, Blackberries or cell phones (to the
extent feasible) that is transmitted over the Internet or by wireless connections.
