ISSA-LA InfoSec Summit XI

This session will explore the rapidly evolving privacy legal landscape in the US in 2019, in particular the California Consumer Privacy Act (taking effect on January 1, 2020), other state bills on the horizon, and the likelihood of a federal omnibus privacy law. The CCPA greatly expands the current scope of regulation of all kinds of sensitive information held by nearly all companies doing business in California. As relevant to healthcare, the CCPA imposes restrictions on the processing of health, wellness, and medical information handled by entities that are not regulated under HIPAA, and provides individuals with much more robust rights with respect to that information. Now is the time for organizations to prepare for compliance.
