On March 28, 2018, Alabama's governor signed S.B. 318, making Alabama the final
state to enact a data breach notification law. The law governs data
breach notification requirements for entities acquiring or using
sensitive personally identifying information of an Alabama
resident. The bill requires notification to affected customers in
the event of a breach within 45 days of the entity determining that
a breach occurred. The law also provides that covered entities and
their agents must implement and maintain reasonable security
measures to protect sensitive personally identifying
information.
