David Navetta has a good post today about the implications of the Nevada Security of Personal Information Law on the InfoSec Compliance Blog.

He makes the point, as have others, that the law applies to almost any company whether you do business in Nevada or not. If you have but one customer from Nevada, even though your stores are not located there, and you accept credit or debit cards from a Nevada resident, then you are required to meet the PCI Data Security Standard and you are required to send the cardholder data in an encrypted format of it is sent outside of your enterprise.
