Breach Response Portal Added by Massachusetts Regulator

Posted on April 27, 2016 by Dissent

Cynthia J. Larose of Mintz Levin writes:

Pursuant to the Massachusetts data breach notification statute, M.G.L. 93H, notices must be provided to the affected resident, the Attorney General’s office and to the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation (OCABR). It is not enough that Massachusetts has a sui generis breach notice content statutory requirement (you must tell affected residents of the breach, but you can’t tell them about the breach), now the OCABR has created its own notice submission portal that is a separate form and not just a place to upload a copy of the AG notice.
