What is South Carolina’s Insurance Data Security Act  ?

The South Carolina Insurance Data Security Act is an U.S. insurance data security law, which went into effect in 2019. South Carolina is the first state in the nation to pass this legislation, which is modeled after the NAIC Insurance Data Security Model Law. 

The Act establishes standards for data security, standards for investigation and standards for communications to the South Carolina Department of Insurance and to the Licensee affected by a cybersecurity event. The aim of the act is to protect the data that businesses are collecting and holding.

A licensee is any individual or nongovernmental entity licensed, registered and authorized to operate under the state insurance laws.
