At Certes Networks, we understand you have a choice of which provider you select to protect your data. Many technology providers state that they can encrypt and protect your data, but this is usually at the cost of disrupting the network infrastructure which can often be expensive and complicated.

Since its inception in May 2018, the GDPR continues to dominate news headlines and cause significant challenges for organizations.  2019 demonstrated that the risk of fines for non-compliance is not just in theory but something that is very real: the fines received by a leading airline, a global hotel chain and a blue-chip technology provider alone totaled over $400 million dollars.  The message is clear – when large volumes of data are infiltrated, or an individual’s fundamental data privacy rights are otherwise violated, the EU will take action.  And, businesses should also be aware that the scope of this regulation is not limited to the EU.  U.S. financial institutions, governments, emergency services, or any enterprise providing a service whereby personal data is processed for an EU resident, are also impacted by GDPR requirements.

GDPR has recently influenced development of U.S. state legislation with California implementing the CCPA and New York the SHIELD Act.  Both have similarities to GDPR with the main purpose to protect individual data privacy rights of citizens.

The Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security Handling (“SHIELD”) Act was introduced to address the increasing threat of data breaches occurring in the State of New York.  It applies to any entity that processes the private information of residents of New York regardless of where that entity is located. If a business is located outside of New York State (or even outside of the United States) compliance with the SHIELD Act will be mandatory if private information of a resident of New York State is being processed.

Private information includes social security numbers, a driver’s license number, credit or debit card information, biometric information and username or email addresses with a password.

It should be noted that organizations that are subject to the following data privacy regulations are deemed in compliance with the SHIELD Act:  Gramm Leach Bliley Act (GLBA); HIPPA; and, New York State Department of Financial Services Cybersecurity Regulation.

Certes Networks can help organizations to comply with the New York SHIELD Act by encrypting data in transit to prohibit any internal or external infiltrations.
