Handling of Personal Information by Third-Party Service Providers: Basic Legal Framework, Risk Factors, Best Practices and Corporate Perspectives

As information technology continues to race along, and data storage and processing increasingly moves to the "cloud", companies rely more heavily on third-party information-handling service providers. Industry-specific regulation of personal information involving both health care providers and financial institutions has existed for some time in the U.S. However, laws such as the Massachusetts data security regulations and Nevada’s amended Security of Personal Information Law – and, increasingly, Federal Trade Commission enforcement of the FTC Act’s prohibition against “unfair or deceptive acts or practices” – now require virtually any company that collects consumer or marketing data to maintain a comprehensive information security program, for both liability and reputational reasons. This presentation reviews the evolving broadly-applicable U.S. legal standards for the handling of personal information by third-parties, and examines pertinent factors in the development of responsible risk assessment and reasonable oversight programs.
