California Law Establishes Duty Of Care For Information Security

by Michael Rasmussen

with Adam Brown

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

California likes to be a leader, and when the federal government is slow to move, the California legislature is quick to step in and establish new laws in the interest of its residents. This is particularly true in areas of information security and privacy. The latest California security/privacy law, Assembly Bill 1950, establishes a legal duty of care that organizations have to implement and maintain "reasonable" security practices to protect California residents' information — not only on an organization's own network, but also in contracts with third parties that touch the information.
