Trust me: you don't want your agency to be the victim of a hacker, or a thief that steals your private client information. The consequences of not properly protecting your client's private information are difficult at best and at worst could be catastrophic to your organization.
Here's just one example, in one state. On September 22, 2009, an insurance agency in Oregon was fined $11,000 by the State of Oregon Insurance Division for not properly disposing of private client data.
In How to Protect Your Agency from the Consequences of a Data Security Breach, I share the foundational information and specific steps you need to know in order to protect your agency. I show you exactly what it takes — step by step — to make sure you properly protect your client information.
Specifically, I reveal how to:
- Understand exactly what will happen if client data is compromised in your agency. Determine what data needs protection.
- Use the C-I-A criteria to classify information based on its confidentiality value.
- Create a data security plan.
- Take the 7 simple but essential steps to protect client data.
- Create scaled-down information storage so you only keep what you really need.
- Complete an information risk assessment to find out where your agency stands.
- Formulate policies and procedures that can be relied upon immediately if a breach should occur.
- Take the appropriate but often overlooked steps to physically secure your premises.
- Properly dispose of sensitive data after your need to use it expires.
- Conform to the reporting requirements mandated by state law if a data breach occurs.
- Evaluate the responsibility of third-party providers who use private client information.
- Examine insurance policies to determine what is covered and what is not covered in the event of a data security breach (in this case, not knowing could be your greatest nightmare).

In addition, How to Protect Your Agency from the Consequences of a Data Security Breach contains an executive summary of every state law along with a link to the actual state statute. A separate section also contains application and sample policy information from many of the insurance companies that currently provide a policy that provides coverage for a data security breach. These two sections will save you hours of time spent finding these details.
Some colleagues suggested that I should charge $400-500 for How to Protect Your Agency from the Consequences of a Data Security Breach — not based on the page count (even though it is over 80 pages long) — but on the specialized information it contains and how much time and money it will save your agency in setting up an effective Client Data Security Program.
