Unit 6 Assignment: Analysis of the Breach Notification Law
A breach notification letter is a good thing, as it means the company is doing something. If one of these letters happens to find its way to you, it means your PII was stolen. If it happens to be a company that has a records department, they would have to identify whose and what records were compromised. Also the CFO has to approve the letter of breach that will be sent to customers, and also the legal team has to proof it and okay it. With a data breach in the state of Wisconsin, the letter must include the type of data that might have been stolen and
if possible the date in which the breach occurred. It would also let the people affected know possibly how many were affected by the breach. As the notices are mailed to the individuals, it may also state what the company is planning on doing to fix the problem. The breach letter must be sent out as soon as a breach is detected or even if one is suspected. The CIO has the responsibility of being named in the letter, so people may have a name to associate with their information. The breach letter may also have information on who to contact and what one could do to help monitor their credit.
