Connecticut Adopts Insurance Data Security Law

by Theodore Augustinos | Aug 5, 2019 | Connecticut Developments, Privacy/Data Security/Cyber Risk, Regulatory | United States

To date, six states from Michigan to Alabama have adopted versions of the National Association of Insurance Commissioner’s model insurance data security law (the “NAIC model”). The NAIC model generally requires entities licensed or authorized to operate under a state’s insurance laws to develop a cybersecurity program, investigate and report data breaches, and certify compliance with the law to the state’s insurance commissioner.
