State Law (SB_583) Effective January 1, 2008, Oregon’s new law requires a business to have;
-A comprehensive information security program with pre-determined safeguards in place.
-It also requires that a business that uses service providers, contractors, and vendors ensure that those entities agree to and adhere to Oregon Law (SB_583) by contract.
-It is also required that a business notifies its customers, clients, or business partners when non-public data is lost.
A business found not to be in compliance faces fines up to $1,000 for each violation (per day) with a cap of $500,000, plus compensation to victims.
