This is a very useful guide for businesses of all sizes that collect, store, handle, or disclose PII.
The details represent specific views on what the State of New York views as current best practices in the area, so if you have customers in New York you should definitely acquaint yourself with this guide.
This is also useful for all consumers to read and see what businesses SHOULD be doing to protect the PII they have entrusted to the organizations with which they do business.
