Tough new laws about data breaches <\/a>go into effect in January in Massachusetts, and they will impact any firm — large or small — that handles client private data of Massachusetts residents. Social security numbers. Bank account numbers. Driver’s License numbers.<\/p>\n

Firms that accept credit card payments, whether online or off, have already had to consider the ramifications of breaches due to the many and much publicized hacks of credit card processing systems. But the new Mass law impacts any<\/strong> organization that has client private data of a Massachusetts citizen. That means professional services\u00a0firms like accountants,\u00a0 lawyers, investment advisors\u00a0 and insurance brokers, whether or not you <\/strong>are located in Massachusetts. <\/em><\/p>\n

GuideMark has developed a set of consulting services<\/a> to help firms comply with the law, and has partnered with The McLane Law Firm <\/strong>to kick everything off with a free two-hour seminar<\/a> June 4th in Woburn and a free one-hour webinar<\/a> on June 11th.<\/p>\n
