Lege Trend: Reworking Agency Data Security. Procurement. Procurement. Procurement.

Which state passed new data security laws in 2016? Wyoming

Were the new laws the result of a breach or a legislative mandate? The result of a 2 year,  4-member Joint Task Force on Digital Information Privacy

What are agencies asked to do?  2 tasks

• Agencies must review their data collection, handling, security and management.
• Agencies must assess their stored data and explain why it collected it; and whether it really still needs to be stored

Where does procurement come into play? To fix and protect the data in perpetuity as state and local governmental entities determine industry best practices. Any wagers on whether government currently implements best practices protect data?
