On October 23, 2019, New York state's Stop Hacks and Improve
Electronic Data Security (SHIELD) Act went into effect. The law
broadens the state's existing breach notification laws and
imposes new security obligations for companies doing business in
New York, including an expanded focus on how companies handle
biometric data. The SHIELD Act also applies to employee
information, as long as there is at least one employee in New York
state, regardless of the size or location of the company. As such,
the law will have a significant impact on businesses across the
country that have private information about consumers and employees
based in New York.
