State Breach Notification Laws Map

At SecureWorld, we love anything that can help security leaders visualize topics that are crucial to cybersecurity.

What if you could find something better than a state breach notification laws chart?

We think we've found it.  This tool compares breach notification laws in an incredibly simple way and we wanted to share.

It's the state breach notification laws map of the United States and U.S. territories. Click the image to see it in action or keep reading to see how it works.

The state breach notification law comparison tool allows you to click on a state and see that state's actual regulation if you need maximum detail.

Or, you can use simple categories to click and highlight any states with the following: 

• Personal information is defined more broadly in this state
• Which states trigger breach notification by access alone?
• Risk of harm analysis is permitted in which states?
• Which states require breach notification to agency or AG?
• State by state time requirement for breach notification
• Where is private cause for action permitted?
• These states are an encryption safe harbor
• Where does the state breach notification law also apply to paper records?

For example, if we click the button that says "Breach notification triggered only by access" which is a very high standard, the states and territory with that breach notification law turn blue:

If you've been looking for a state breach notification laws chart, this map takes it to the next level.

You can visualize state notification laws and then see their actual state-by-state breach notification statutes that you and your organization have the challenge of complying with.

We hope this helps.
