New York SHIELD Act (Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security)
New York's SHIELD Act, enacted in 2019, dramatically expanded data breach protections. It requires companies to implement and maintain a data security program with administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. Crucially, SHIELD applies to any business that holds New York resident data — regardless of where the company is located.
New York residents have some of the strongest protections in the country. The SHIELD Act's affirmative security program requirement means companies face liability even for security failures that haven't yet resulted in a breach.
