Wyoming's breach notice rule

Wyoming's computer security breach rules are Wyo. Stat. Ann. §§ 40-12-501 and 40-12-502.

Wyoming starts from a reasonable and prompt investigation.

"If the investigation determines that the misuse of personal identifying information about a Wyoming resident has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur, the individual or the commercial entity shall give notice as soon as possible to the affected Wyoming resident."

Where the investigation finds misuse neither occurred nor is reasonably likely, no notice is owed.

When notice is owed, "Notice shall be made in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay".

Who enforces it

"The attorney general may bring an action in law or equity to address any violation of this section".

Section 40-12-502 as published names the attorney general only in that role. It contains no notice to the attorney general or another regulator.

Our Wyoming breach notification page sets out the data elements and the rule in full, and says which text we checked. This is general information, not legal advice.

What a ShareAndGo room gives a Wyoming team

Casper and Cheyenne businesses that pass customer files to lenders, insurers or buyers can keep the exchange in one room where each group sees only its own folders.

For documents you share through ShareAndGo, the activity log records every view and download, and watermarked view-only pages carry the reader's email address and the date.

The watermark is a per-room setting, on by default. Recipients confirm a six-digit code sent to their email and need no account, and the chained activity log exports as CSV when a list of readers is needed.

The courts and regulators behind Wyoming paperwork

Federal cases from Wyoming are heard in the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming. CPAs practicing in Wyoming are licensed by the Wyoming Board of Certified Public Accountants.

At state level, securities offerings and investment advisers in Wyoming come under the Wyoming Secretary of State.
