Safe Side Compliance is pleased to invite you to a complimentary 201 CMR 17.00 Compliance Summit in Boston on February 24th from 2 to 5pm. Registration begins at 1pm.
Effective March 1st, 2010, all Massachusetts based businesses are required by law to safeguard their employee and customer personal information. This summit is your fast track to learning how to bring your business into compliance and remain compliant.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick issued Executive Order No. 504 in 2008 recognizing the rise of identity theft and the need to protect Massachusetts citizens. The Mass Data Protection Act applies to all businesses in the Bay State and the 201 CMR 17.00 data protection standards are now a legal requirement for all businesses that manage personal information of Massachusetts employees and/or customers regardless of whether the entities or the data resides within the Commonwealth.
 Keynote speaker Ms. Barbara Anthony, appointed by the Governor to serve as Undersecretary to the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation has spent her career promoting consumer causes, is one of the state's most well-known consumer advocates and is a highly respected public interest lawyer. She will present an overview of 201 CMR 17.00, discuss the impact it has on both large and small businesses in both public and private sectors and provide answers to frequently asked questions then take questions from summit attendees.
 Mr. Anthony M. Nogueira, CEO of Safe Side Compliance
will open the summit by discussing compliance in general and what businesses need to consider in today's economic and legal climates with respect to safeguarding the personal information of their employees and customers. Businesses in the news that have had a personal information breach provide valuable lessons on the criticality of finding and strengthening vulnerable business processes and controls. As Safe Side Compliance Customers will attest, Mr. Nogueira will describe how his team of compliance experts and technologists can assist companies of any size in meeting regulatory obligations using Safe Side Compliance Methodologies and Services. |
