Breakfast Seminar:
Practical Tips and Strategies for Complying with the Massachusetts Data Security Law and Regulations

Registration Now Open!

Recent attendees have said that this seminar is "the perfect mix of law, business, and personality" and "informative, timely and insightful."

Are you prepared to help your organization get into compliance with the new data security regulations? Massachusetts has enacted one of the most onerous data protection laws in the country. Now, after a number of extensions, the regulations implementing this law go into effect March 1, 2010. The regulations apply to every individual or entity, including those outside Massachusetts, that maintain personal information regarding Massachusetts residents, and regardless of whether the information is stored in paper or electronic form. To be in compliance, covered entities must ensure that such data is maintained securely, and develop Comprehensive Written Information Security Policies (CWISPs).

We have invited attorneys from Schwartz Hannum, PC to present an informative seminar on Thursday September 17th from 8:00 to 10:00 am. The seminar will be held at the Hampton Inn in Westford, and will provide an overview of the required compliance measures and offer a roadmap for compliance steps:

  • Compliance Measures Required By March 1, 2010
  • Conducting A Preliminary Audit: Identifying The Sources, Locations And Flow Of Personal Information Through Your Organization
  • How to Develop A Comprehensive Written Information Security Policy
  • Overview of Encryption Requirements
  • Vendor Compliance Issues
  • Employee Handbooks and Employment Contracts

Space is limited, so sign up soon! To register, please fax or mail the registration form. If you have any questions, give us a call at 978-692-4200.
