The Red Flag Rule And Businesses

I was talking with a company owner / friend the other day and I was showing a concept of a website that had been working for the last year or so. However, before he showed me any details about the site and any of the information he wanted me to sign a confidentiality agreement. I have read and signed the agreement. Then he began to explain what he was trying to accomplish with the site in the way will be maintained, marketed and the income of his campaign. The reason I wanted to show their project is that the relevant companies wanted to be associated with your project. The more I sat and listened the more I became convinced that his project had the potential to really do well in the Internet field.

What I am saying is that my friend had the intelligence and understanding to "protect" their investment idea and steal from people, making them sign a confidentiality agreement before launch, all the information. When it comes to opening or running a business I think you'll agree that there is no shortage of standards that are established by federal and local governments to operate. Having said that I have to admit that one of the best out in recent years is the "Red Flag Rule", which addresses identity theft in the workplace. I'm not a big fan of the rules myself, but this is all the companies can live and attach easily to the amazing. And if you are not familiar with this regulation will not feel bad. In my experience in this field is estimated that over 85% of companies and businesses that come into contact with have never heard so much about the law or have not been implemented. What's amazing to me is that, although this regulation is required by law, business owners are reluctant to put in place.

Let's take a quick look at this regulation. There are several identity theft laws that deal with identity theft protection the workplace, but they all point more or less the same direction.

1) Have a security policy in place that deals with issues of security company. Write one of these from scratch can be slow and cumbersome, if you do not know what to look for. What I offer my clients is a template to help speed up the process and help focus on problem areas. I have taken the hardest part of the equation and made it a task that takes minutes to complete.

2) Designate a security officer to oversee the implementation of the Security Policy of the Company and to update the policy when necessary.

3) Employees should be trained how to handle non-public information and to sign a confidentiality agreement. Not only is this is the easiest part of the whole arrangement in my mind, which is the most critical because the bonds of the three components together to create a "culture of safety" in their workplace.

This law makes sense in the aspect that all employees are on the same page when it comes to non-personal information and how to operate. With more than half of identity theft here in the U.S. occur in the workplace and the fines that are associated with a violation of this regulation information only makes sense for a company's balance sheet.
