To print this article, all you need is to be registered or login on Mondaq.com.
The Federal Trade Commission and regulators in other countries
have issued guidance regarding security practices for the home as
most employees work from home instead of the office. This is
especially difficult in regulated industries that process credit
card, health information or other regulated data.
We have summarized below key takeaways of the regulatory
guidance on remote working to minimize risks to data security. We
have also summarized the guidance from more than 60 U.S. and global
data protection authorities and governmental agencies on health
data collection, COVID-19 diagnosis disclosure, and return-to-work
approaches here.
Our team is assisting many clients in addressing challenging
legal, operational and compliance challenges related to COVID-19. If you would like to
