Data Privacy Law and Your Organization

As state and federal governments create new data privacy laws such as HIPAA, GLBA and CA SB 1386, privacy compliance can be an onerous task for an organization. Ignorance is no defense and despite your best efforts, you may find your organization subject to penalties if your information security and privacy policies don’t meet regulatory standards. How can you be sure you have the tools for effective HIPAA privacy compliance?

Information Shield has a range of products to help you navigate the maze of data privacy law and protect both your organization and your customers.

The Privacy Management Toolkit is the definitive resource on data privacy law and HIPAA privacy compliance. Created by Rebecca Herold, CISSP, CISM, CISA, a 15-year veteran of information protection and network security, it provides the resources an organization needs to create policies and procedures to protect their customers’ private information.

For additional help, also consider our Data Privacy Jump Start which includes benefits such as two hours of virtual consulting with toolkit author Rebecca Herold.

Information Security Policies Made Easy was created by Charles Cresson Wood, CISSP, CISA, CISM, based on his 25 years of experience in information security. It provides organizations with guidance on creating security policies that protect data integrity and privacy.

But HIPAA privacy compliance is not just about securing the computing environment. An organization must also create policies and procedures that include training, definition of employee roles, and incident response plans.

Information Security Roles and Responsibilities Made Easy, also by Mr. Wood, details the security responsibilities for over 40 organizational roles and includes advice on staffing and budgeting to provide the security your customers deserve and data privacy law requires.
