Iron Mountain to host free webcast on complying with information privacy regulations

BOSTON, Mar 09, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM), the information management company, will host on March 15 a free webcast to help organizations understand and comply with the various regulations that govern information privacy.

The stakes for protecting customers' personal information have never been higher as data breaches destroy consumer trust and incidents of non-compliance result in steep fines. But understanding and complying with these myriad of federal, state and industry-mandated regulations can challenge even the most sophisticated and conscientious organizations.

In this Law.com-sponsored webcast, "The World of Privacy Compliance: Make Sure You're Not Left Behind," Charles H. Kennedy, partner, Wilkinson Barker Knauer, LLP will provide an overview of the regulatory landscape for information privacy and specifically discuss HIPAA, FACTA, PCI and select state laws. Attendees will have access to a Kennedy-authored whitepaper titled "Red Flag Regulations: A New Front Opens in the War on Identity Theft."

WHAT:

Attendees will gain a better understanding of:
-- State laws for data encryption and breach notification, as well as "must shred" rules;
-- Industry-specific regulations like HIPAA/HITECH;
-- Existing federal legislation, such as the Red Flag Rules for identity theft as well as international requirements.
