Logo Design for Personal Data Compliance

Personal Data Compliance

Massachusetts law requires businesses holding the personal data of a Massachusetts resident to take measures to prevent identity theft. The law applies to nearly all Massachusetts businesses, non-profits, and universities, as well as many nationwide businesses with customers in Massachusetts.

Personal Data Compliance (PDC) and the website PersonalDataCompliance.com help businesses create a roadmap of measures that must be taken to comply with the law.

Examples of personal data include a person’s name in any combination with their social security number, driver’s license number, or financial account number, such as a credit or debit card.

Every organization must take compliance seriously, as breaches may result in government action including financial penalties, liability in civil suit, contractual risk, and even risk insurance coverage.

PDC helps businesses and organizations quickly and cost effectively navigate and comply with the new law. Using a step-by-step interface, PDC facilitates the effort to analyze information security, identify risks, and develop a WISP for their organization. PDC then dynamically generates the WISP and stores the data, making annual reviews and updates easy for ongoing compliance. PDC provides monthly updates to clients stay aware of changes, trends, and modifications that may affect their companies going forward.

The law applies to nearly all Massachusetts businesses, non-profits, and universities, as well as many nationwide businesses with customers in Massachusetts who have personal data. Similar laws are being passed in other states and the federal government may generate a law too.

Examples of personal data include a person’s name in any combination with their social security number, driver’s license number, or financial account number, such as a credit or debit card. Federal regulations require any business with employees to maintain W-2 and I-9 forms containing personal data, so every Massachusetts organization with employees is subject to the new regulation.

Additionally, many out-of-state organizations must comply, including internet retailers with customers from Massachusetts and third party service providers handling personal data of Massachusetts residents. The regulation is sweeping and far reaching.

Every organization must take compliance seriously, as breaches may result in government action including financial penalties, liability in civil suit, contractual risk, and even risk insurance coverage.

Personal Data Compliance is a new company. As a new company it requires a logo. Will you be the graphic designer that creates the new logo?

The website is http://www.PersonalDataCompliance.com . It is still under development. The colors are not set. The website will have a white background so be sure the logo you create will look great on a white background.

All entries must include a color version and a black/white version. Logos that are on one line vs. stacked are preferred as they take up less height on the website.

Good luck! We are excited about the designs you are about to create!
