For whichever U.S. state you are currently residing in (state - Kansas), research its breach notification law. Note that some states do not label it as such, but all 50 states have some form of legislation that mandates an organization's responsibilities when a data breach affects the state's citizen's private, protected information.
• What types of organizations or individuals does it apply to?
• Is it limited to only those organizations or individuals who reside or exist in that state, or might it affect external interests?
• How does the law define or describe the information that it protects, by both name and description?
• What exemptions, if any, exist?
• What are the penalties for violating the law?
• In your opinion, is it effective? Good law? Needing updating? What other critiques or opinions do you have about it?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
