Cyber Liability by state
Utah data breach notification law and cyber insurance
Direct answer
What is Utah's data breach notification law?
Utah's breach notification law (Utah Code sect. 13-44-101 et seq.) requires businesses to notify affected residents in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay after a breach of personal information. Cyber liability insurance generally funds the forensics, notification, and legal review behind that analysis.
What the statute requires
Utah requires businesses to notify affected residents of breaches of unencrypted personal information without unreasonable delay once misuse becomes reasonably likely, with notice to the Attorney General and the Utah Cyber Center when 500 or more residents are affected. Cyber liability insurance generally funds the forensics, notification, and legal review behind that analysis.
