For almost 250 years, our federal system has allowed each state to “serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.” Nowhere have states more clearly operated in this role in recent years than in the area of protecting the privacy of consumers’ data.

While these laws have similarities, together they require companies that have experienced a data breach to comply with multiple different, and sometimes contradictory, standards, if those companies do business across state lines. This article provides an overview of the current State Attorneys General privacy enforcement landscape.

So your CEO has finally recognized that the company needs a compliance program, and naturally turns to you, the lawyer. Where do you start? How do you determine that you've identified the compliance risks, complied with all the applicable laws and regulations, and adequately addressed the risks? This session will describe the essentials of a compliance program including risk assessments, policy development, communications, training, establishment of controls and monitoring and testing of controls. Presenters will offer firsthand experiences (some positive) and best practices, incorporating MRCP 3, A-C privilege, MRCP 1.16 and MRCP 1.13 for ethics.
