Privacy Law Lunch and Learn March 18, 2009

New federal identity theft laws have been passed which are holding business owners liable criminally and civilly for failing to protect their employees’ and customers’ identities.

These laws require, among other things, continual education on the treatment of confidential information in the workplace, and stringent control and implementation of safeguards to ensure such confidential information is protected.

These new laws include:

1. The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act Disposal Rule (FACTA).
2. Identity Theft Red Flags and Address Discrepancies Rule.
3. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Security Rule (HIPAA).
4. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Safeguards Rule (GLBA).

In our LUNCH and LEARN, we will educate you on how identity theft is affecting businesses, the demands these laws make on businesses and the fines and penalties for failure to comply, and how we can help you understand and adhere to your responsibilities under these various laws.

Seating is limited. Please RSVP by calling 602-774-4450. This Lunch and Learn is best suited for Business Owners, Office Managers and/or HR Directors.
