Do you regularly conduct meetings with your employees to explain what sexual harassment is and why it is prohibited in your workplace? And, are these meetings mandatory – for all employees, from the CEO on down? If an employee feels she or he has been wrongfully subjected to sexual harassment, is there a clearly delineated procedure the employee can follow to seek and obtain redress?

While GDPR is a looming shadow for many organizations, laws of states like New York comprise many similar requirements. In this second part of our GDPR series, we look at how the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) Cybersecurity Regulations affect acquisition due diligence acquirers in a similar way to GDPR. Recently, NYDFS updated its Frequently Asked Questions page to address cybersecurity compliance due diligence requirements for NYDFS Covered Entities (organizations doing business under the New York Financial Services or Insurance Laws) seeking acquisitions. The response indicated that “Covered Entities will need to do a factual analysis of how these (cybersecurity) regulations apply to that particular acquisition.” In other words, with regard to companies supervised by NYDFS, the sort of cybersecurity compliance that was widely discussed as good business practice in the wake of the data breach disclosures by Yahoo during its acquisition by Verizon are now, arguably, required of financial services acquirers in New York. This requirement holds even if the target isn’t an organization supervised by NYDFS.
