On May 3, 2018, South Carolina became the first adopter of Insurance Data Security Model Law.  The NAIC adopted the law in October 2017, and the law goes into effect January 1, 2019, and requires licensees of the State of South Carolina DOI to comply.  The law follows the New York Department of Financial Services regulation, which paved the way for the NAIC law.  Since this time, cybersecurity regulation seems to be spreading like wildfire.  California, Vermont, Colorado and a host of other states are considering or have passed cyber legislation.
