Rhode Island's Document Destruction & Data Security Rules
RI General Laws § 6-52-2 mandates that businesses destroy their customers' personal information "by shredding, erasing, or otherwise destroying and/or modifying" it. The RI Identity Theft Protection Act further expanded these protections, specifically stating that businesses of all sizes, municipal agencies, and even individuals, must protect personal information the same way. Do you have a risk-based information security program in place? If you work with vendors or third-parties, does your contract require them to abide by similar protocols? Do your employees know what to do if a breach occurs? If the answer to any of these questions is "no," or if you are unsure, your business could be in violation of state laws, and could face steep penalties. These extensive regulations can be complicated, but ShredSmart can help.
