CIPP-US Exam - Question 84


What is the most likely reason that states have adopted their own data breach notification laws?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BC

States often adopt their own data breach notification laws because many types of organizations are not currently subject to federal laws regarding breaches. As a result, states take the initiative to address gaps in protection and to ensure that residents are notified of breaches impacting their personal information.
