- In 2003, a California State Law went into effect that requires disclosure from companies in the event of unauthorized access of non-public customer information. The law applies if there are any California residents in your database. The law is triggered by any incident in which customer data is "reasonably believed" to have been compromised. There is an exemption in the law if the data is encrypted.
- Upon discovery of a security breach that may jeopardize credit information, the user is required to immediately contact Cash Management (Cheryl Margey 617-495-5471 or Michelle Sazo 617-495-1647). Cash Management will involve a credit card incident response team comprised of representatives of Cash Management, UIS Network Services, RMAS, & OGC. This team will work with your local business and technical people in investigating and remediating the situation. VISA and MasterCard require merchants to have an incident response team to deal with potential breaches of credit card data. Cash management will be responsible for notifying our acquiring bank of any breaches. Local units will be responsible for any fines or penalties resulting from breaches of their data.
