Title:  Safeguarding Your Business - Compliance with the New Security Regulations
Date:  Thursday, February 11, 2010
Time:  8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Description:  Many small businesses believe that they are exempt from the Massachusetts Data Privacy Act (201 CMR 17); the perception is that the law is geared to retailers and financial institutions, whose day to day operation involves the gathering and sharing of large amounts of personal information. A few simple questions should convince you that you are most likely NOT exempt, and that your business must comply.

Do you have any employees?
Do you receive payments from individuals, whether check or credit card?
Do you need to send out 1099s?

If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then you have personal information in your possession, and therefore must bring your business into compliance.

On Thursday, February 11, 2010 attorney Warren Atlas of Atlas and Atlas, PC and Bob O'Keefe of The New England Network Group, Inc. will present an in depth analysis, and practical advice regarding legal and technical compliance with the new Regulations, please attend the Chamber’s February 11th seminar referenced above. Warren will address the legal components of the regulations while Bob will illuminate the technical requirements so that your company can formulate the necessary policies and put in place the technology required for compliance with the regulations. The seminar is presented to help your company avoid a data security breach and insulate your organization from the resultant liability.
