It is hard for me to believe my own ears when a company that has tons of private information says that are not interested in a protection plan to help protect that information which in fact belongs to the individual. Let alone the fact as you said it is mandated by the Federal Gov. plus it's just the right thing for a bussiness owner to do. You are dead on Eric!

This law applies to ANY BUSINESS regardless of size that collects information or consumer reports about customers or employees to make decisions within their business (including names,credit card numbers, birth dates,home addresses,payroll, direct deposit, payroll deduct,401 and more). All businesses must be able to show they have a security plan in place. Most don't even know what you are talking about. ask them if they have a Compliance Officer or a Written Plan in place to respond if a breach occurs, they don't. Every corporation is fiducially responsible to offer a Mitigation Plan to all employees if Identity Theft or a breach occurs. Yet when you try to inform them not to alarm them most get on the defensive, most legal counsel Hr, Risk management people are not even aware. it's like this, did you see the movie The Perfect Storm" the wave is the LAW the ship is CORPORATE AMERICA and it's about to come crashing down on them and they haven't a clue. One such company went to get compliant spent $32 million dollars and did not even come close to having the compliance right. How do you think they felt? Ken, I work as an outreach person to explain the Rules in greater detail and help corporations understand what is required of them. Many have a hard time separating the LAW and having a consultant come in and say "we're not interested". How can a company not be interested in a FEDERAL LAW? They do have serious consequences to face for non compliance. If someone becomes you in another state your attorney may not be able to practice in that state, right? You may need an attorney to represent you in that state. How do you know that you are going to get the right attorney to work on your behalf? I would like you to contact me and allow me to share some information that is very compelling to share with your readers. Thank you. With high regards. Erick Mann Ken

Approx 13% of corporate America is, that means of course that approx 87% are in violation of the FTC Law on FACTA. Most don't even know that they they must Mitigate the Crime. In the 70's it was OSHA, 80's it was ADA, 90's it was HIPPA, 2000 IDENTITY THEFT. What ALL of these laws have in COMMON is that YOU HAVE NO OPTION! in most cases if Identity Theft takes place you will need an attorney. If you don't believe me white wash all the Handicapped signs in front of your building and see what happens.
