Earlier this year, Governor Josh Shapiro signed amendments to Pennsylvania’s Breach of Personal Information Notification Act (BPINA) into law, which go into effect on September 26. As part of the implementation of these requirements, Pennsylvania Attorney General (AG) Michelle Henry announced the launch of an online portal for companies and other entities to report data breaches that impact more than 500 Pennsylvania residents. As with notification to impacted individuals, covered entities must notify the AG “without unreasonable delay.” This new requirement aligns Pennsylvania’s data breach notification law with the 35 states that have existing notice requirements for the applicable state regulator when a threshold number of state residents are impacted. Many of these states utilize a similar portal for submissions for ease of reporting.
