There are now an array of laws and regulations regarding handling personal information (SSN, credit card number, etc.) for students, staff, faculty, affiliates and others. The regulations include national laws (e.g. FERPA, FACTA), state rules (e.g., Massachusetts' data breach law), and industry standards (e.g. PCI). This is a non-technical session that discusses the context for data protection, what needs to be protected and why, the responsibilities for anyone handling personal information, as well as recommendations for securely handling, storing and destroying both electronic and paper records. Presentation and handouts will be available at http://web.mit.edu/infoprotect/resources.html
