Privacy Best Practices Do-it-Yourself Guide Aims to Help Small Businesses, Not-for-Profits, Schools and Local Government to Inexpensively and Simply Comply with Federal and State Privacy Compliance Laws On May 1, 2009 over 10 million organizations nationwide are required to comply with the Red Flags Rule, one more law intended to bring identity theft under control in this country by changing how enterprises handle sensitive information. Numerous state and federal privacy and information security laws already exist, yet few enterprises comply because few are aware the laws exist and that privacy compliance and privacy best practices are required. As a result most small enterprises are at significant financial risk if they lose consumer information. Privacy compliance and privacy best practices can often reduce or eliminate such liability through Safe Harbor. Privacy MakeOver, the first guide to help small enterprises comply with state and federal laws including the Red Flags Rule, simplifies privacy best practices into four steps: (1) assessing risks, (2) adapting documentation, (3) educating employees and (4) periodic review to attain safe harbor. Thousands of dollars worth of compliance documentation, which can be easily adapted to any business or organization, is included in Privacy Makeover: The Essential Guide to Best Practices (ISBN 0-9820573-0-X, Trade Paperback, 302 pp, 5½ x 8½, $45.00). A Privacy Makeover Companion Web site provides readers with additional resources and documents (www.PrivacyMakeOver.com). Mike Macedonio, New York Times bestselling author, says that author "Joseph Campana provides valuable insights and tips in this essential guide to going privacy-friendly." Author and Consultant to CEOs, Patrick Below, calls Privacy MakeOver, "a practical and highly readable book for business owners and professionals dealing with the rapidly emerging threat of identity theft and privacy." Author Joseph E. Campana, Ph.D. is a distinctively experienced and certified privacy and identity theft solutions professional. His years of hands-on executive experience in business, government and higher education contributes to the highly readable, relatable and easily adaptable content, which any enterprise can use immediately to help protect assets and foster consumer loyalty. |
