Business organizations must comply with the laws and regulations to protect certain information when it is discarded.

Here are a few of the growing number of laws:

    Governs the use, reporting, and disposal of consumer/credit reports for credit, employment, insurance, or leasing decisions.
  • Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA)
    Requires safeguarding medical data across digital media and paper, ensuring privacy throughout its lifecycle.
  • Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA)
    Obligates financial institutions to explain information-sharing practices and protect sensitive customer data.
