FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
New Authority to Protect Local Businesses
Thal Dixon, owner of Dixon Security Cameras, and a Certified Information Security Advisor located in Sandy, Utah now provides expert help for local businesses to get compliant with federal and state laws aimed at protecting customer information. Big federal and state fines can now be imposed on all businesses not compliant with these laws.
American Fork, Utah, July 29, 2010 – Businesses, professionals, and government offices have become the primary source of identity theft and criminal fraud in the digital age. Businesses and organizations of virtually every type and size are now required by one or more laws to protect their customer and employee information.
Federal, state and industry regulations now mandate specific security and privacy safeguards for protecting against identity theft, cyber-crime, and other types of information security breaches. Virtually no business or profession is exempt. Negligence and failure to comply with these laws can result in hefty fines from both federal and state regulatory agencies, as well as legal action against the business and the owners personally. Credit card companies can also impose substantial penalties. Customers and employees whose information has been lost or stolen also now have legal precedence to collect actual and punitive damages.
Compliance can be overwhelming to owners and managers. Certified Information Security Advisors can help businesses and organizations make sense of required safeguards for compliance with laws such as Red Flags Rule, HIPAA, GLBA, related state consumer protection laws, as well as the credit card industry’s PCI security standard.
Thal Dixon, owner of Dixon Security Cameras is certified as an information security and compliance professional by INVISUS who provides one of the most respected and substantial certifications in this area.
