Under ID Theft Laws Such As: FACTA, GLB and HIPAA We Are All Responsible For Sensitive Data
ID Theft is Rampant, due in large part to data breach of the workplace, the foremost source of all Identity Theft.
Since the year 2005 the identities of over 200,000,000 individuals
have been compromised through data breach in the US alone!
Due to this incredible increase in Data Breach, and the fact that 70% of identity theft stems from the workplace,
the onus has been placed on You and I via new or expanded federal laws such as GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act), GLB-Gramm Leach Bliley Safeguard Rule, FACTA, FCRA, as well as numerous state laws.
If you are the owner of, or work for a small business you may think that these laws don't apply to you, or that compliance is
not an issue for your company.
Think Again. We all deal with personal and financial information of countless Consumers, Customers, Employees and Vendors.
