Case Study:

Lab - Identifying the Scope of Your State's (location's) Data and Security Breach Notification Law

Currently, 47 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands have data and security breach notification laws that define what organizations must do if they have had data or security breached that impact citizen privacy data. The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) Web site tracks and organizes telecommunication and information technology state legislation. Review the NCSL Web site and data and security breach notification laws for each state listed.

You are a cybersecurity manager at ABC organization. Your Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) comes to your office and asks if you are familiar with this site and how it might affect the way ABC does business in the different states where ABC is licensed to do business. He has asked you to create a presentation for a meeting to introduce the executives of the organization to this site and report on the organizations responsibilities for breach notification or the region where you are the cybersecurity manager. Locate your state in the list on the NCSL website above. If you live outside of the United States locate a similar law for where you are a resident.

Create a PowerPoint® narration (voice) report of at least 10 slides based on your findings in the NCSL website for your state (not including the cover page and reference page). If you do not own a copy of Microsoft PowerPoint use a comparable slide software or Google Slides . If your tool does not offer the ability to put audio on the slides utilize another tool to record the audio portion, i.e., VLC Media or another tool
that will allow you to record .mp3 file format that transitions with the slides.

In the presentation, address the following:

1. Relate state government data security breach notification laws to individual privacy.

2. Explain why state governments have data security breach notification law.

3. Find your state or location's data and security breach and notification law and explain the following in your presentation:

History of the law

ABC's responsibility for breach notification

What is ABC's liability for failing to follow this law

4. Assess the scope and depth of privacy protection rights of a citizen in your particular state or location.

Make sure to provide a reference slide that provides APA citations of any sources used in the PowerPoint presentation. This slide does not require narration.

Written Requirements

Your PowerPoint narration presentation should be 10 or more slides in length. Be sure to use appropriate APA format and cite your Reading or other sources that you used in your presentation.

The presentation should contain sufficient information to adequately answer the questions and contain no spelling, grammar, or APA errors.

Remember that the slides will contain summary information of what you provide in your narration. Points deducted from grade for each writing, spelling, or grammar error are at your instructor's discretion.
