MIPSA

Massachusetts Information Privacy and Security Act (MIPSA)

Regulation: Massachusetts Information Privacy and Security Act
Abbreviation: MIPSA
Governs these parties: all organizations processing information on residents or those doing business in Massachusetts
Enforced by: the Office of the Attorney General (OAG)

The Massachusetts privacy act requires that every person that owns or licenses personal information about a resident of the Commonwealth must develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive information security program.

Complying with the MIPSA provides consumers with rights of access, deletion, correction, portability, and opt-out in relation to their personal data. It would, among other things require data controllers to publish a privacy notice for data subjects; require registration of data brokers, and require risk assessments for certain types of processing.  

The rest of this document is designed to help our community understand MIPSA better by outlining the following information:

How it relates to cybersecurity

Amongst the provisions are the security requirements of all governed entities to:

  • develop policies and procedures relating to employees and data. This should include information regarding disciplinary procedures if an employee is found in violation of the data security program. 
  • develop techniques to avoid security failures
  • sufficiently encrypt sensitive data

How Coro handles compliance for you
