North Dakota's security breach notification law
Any person that owns or licenses computerized data that includes personal information of North Dakota residents is subject to the state's security breach notification law, North Dakota Century Code chapter 51-30.
The law generally requires that person to notify any North Dakota resident whose unencrypted personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized person. Notice must be made in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, consistent with the legitimate needs of law enforcement or measures needed to determine the scope of the breach and restore the integrity of the data system. When a breach exceeds 250 individuals, it must also be disclosed to the North Dakota Attorney General by mail or email.
North Dakota defines personal information more broadly than many states. It includes an individual's name together with data such as a Social Security number, a driver's license or nondriver identification card number, a financial account or payment card number with an access code, a date of birth, a mother's maiden name, medical information, health insurance information, an employer-assigned identification number with an access code, or a digitized or electronic signature. A business that maintains personal information it does not own must notify the owner immediately after discovering a breach.
Healthcare covered entities and business associates that follow the HIPAA breach notification rules, and financial institutions that follow federal interagency guidance on customer notice, are considered in compliance with this chapter. The Attorney General enforces the law.
Moorhead organizations should also look at Minnesota's breach notification statute, Minn. Stat. section 325E.61. It applies to businesses that conduct business in Minnesota, requires notice to affected Minnesota residents without unreasonable delay, and requires notice within 48 hours to the nationwide consumer reporting agencies when more than 500 people must be notified at one time.
This is general information about the law, not legal advice. Your organization remains responsible for its own compliance program. We help you implement and document the security controls, monitoring, backups, and incident response plan that program depends on.
Notify without unreasonable delay
North Dakota requires notice to affected residents in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, subject to law-enforcement needs and the work required to assess the incident.
Attorney General notice above 250
When a breach exceeds 250 individuals, it must also be disclosed to the North Dakota Attorney General by mail or email.
A broad definition of personal information
Date of birth, mother's maiden name, medical information, and health insurance information all count when paired with a name, so more incidents can trigger notice.
