Stat. sect. 40-12-501 et seq.) requires businesses to notify affected residents in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay after a breach of personal information.

What the statute requires

Wyoming requires businesses to notify affected residents of breaches of unencrypted personal information without unreasonable delay, once misuse becomes reasonably likely. Cyber liability insurance generally funds the forensics, notification, and legal review behind that analysis.

Consumer notification deadline
In the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay
Safe harbor
Notification is not required if the compromised data was encrypted or redacted, or where an investigation finds misuse of the information is not reasonably likely.
Enforcement
Violations are enforceable by the Attorney General, who may bring an action for damages and injunctive relief.
