QuestionQ33

State Privacy Laws

What is the most likely reason states have enacted their own data-breach notification laws?

  • A Many states have unique types of businesses that require specific legislation
  • B Many lawmakers believe that federal enforcement of current laws has not been effective
  • C Many types of organizations are not currently subject to federal laws regarding breaches
  • D Many large businesses have intentionally breached the personal information of their customers
Explanation

Federal breach-notification requirements apply only to certain regulated sectors and organizations, leaving many entities outside their scope. State laws address that coverage gap by imposing notification duties more broadly.
