StoredTech Gets Serious About the SHIELD Act

NY-based MSP Helps Clients Maintain Compliance Under New Laws



QUEENSBURY, N.Y.  - November 14, 2019 - (Newswire.com)

Stored Technology Solutions Inc., a managed services provider (MSP), is helping businesses familiarize themselves with the State of New York’s SHIELD Act. Inspired by the new online privacy policies instated by the European Union, this act places constraints on any business that collects the data of New York citizens. 

Signed into law in June 2019, the SHIELD Act serves two primary purposes: to amend New York’s data breach notification statute and adding requirements for businesses to protect the personal and private information of New York residents. The legislation defines personal and private information as names, social security numbers, financial account numbers, usernames, email addresses, passwords, biometric data and health information covered under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Also included in the act are details on how quickly businesses compromised by a breach need to notify the State of New York and the people affected. Even if you are not a New York-based company, you still must adhere to this act if you own computerized data of a New York resident.​

StoredTech has provided reliable IT solutions for the businesses of Upstate New York and North Carolina for nearly a decade now. They pride themselves on their ability to establish partnerships with clients, employees and the community that is based on mutual respect and developing business relationships.

According to Mark Shaw, president of StoredTech, “As people increasingly continue to conduct business online, the need to protect their personal and private information from cybersecurity breaches will increase. Companies can get overwhelmed trying to run their business while keeping up with the latest regulations. That’s where we come in.”
