Maine One of Latest States to Enact NAIC-Inspired Insurance Data Security Act
Maine is one of the latest states to enact its own version of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) model data security law, signing the Maine Insurance Data Security Act into law on March 17.
The NAIC Insurance Data Security Model Law was formally adopted in 2017 and aims to establish data security standards for regulators and insurers to mitigate damage from a data breach. It has since been adopted by several U.S. states, with Maine and North Dakota being two of the latest.
“The NAIC model development has received wide attention in the industry from interested parties, including trade groups representing insurers and producers,” Maine Bureau of Insurance Superintendent Eric Cioppa told Insurance Journal in emailed comments. “…Maine has actively participated in the development of the NAIC model law, which Maine’s new law is based upon.”
