Utah breach notification lookup
Use this Utah breach notification lookup as an incident-triage clock, not as legal advice. It shows the fields Policywright has verified for Utah: statute citation, stated notification deadline, residents or regulators who may need notice, consumer-reporting-agency threshold, consumer-notice trigger, official source links, and the last verified date.
Last verified 2026-08-13. Not legal advice.
| Field | Verified value | Use in the incident file |
|---|---|---|
| Statute | Utah Code § 13-44-202 | Link the decision record to the official citation |
| Deadline | Notice in the most expedient time possible without unreasonable delay after determining scope, restoring reasonable system integrity, and accounting for law-enforcement delay; maintainers notify and cooperate with the owner or licensee immediately after discovery if misuse occurs or is reasonably likely. | Sort multi-state response work by the shortest stated clock |
| Residents | Affected Utah residents when the investigation reveals that misuse of personal information for identity theft or fraud purposes has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur. | Identify whether affected residents receive notice |
| Regulator | Notify the Utah Attorney General and Utah Cyber Center if misuse of personal information relating to 500 or more Utah residents has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur; include breach date, discovery date, total affected people, Utah resident count, data type, and short breach description to the extent known or available. | Record AG or regulator portal review |
| Consumer-reporting agencies | Notify each nationwide consumer reporting agency when misuse of personal information relating to 1,000 or more Utah residents has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur. | Check whether the affected count crosses a CRA threshold |
| Consumer trigger | Utah requires notification to the Office of the Attorney General and the Utah Cyber Center when misuse relating to 500 or more Utah residents has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur; the Utah Cyber Center breach form automatically notifies both entities. | Tie notice analysis to the statutory trigger, not an unsupported assumption |
What this state lookup shows
Utah fields are rendered from the verified state dataset only when the field exists. No deadline is inferred when the data does not state one.
Utah Code § 13-44-202 is the statute citation retained for this lookup, and the state page links to the official statute source when available.
Utah requires notification to the Office of the Attorney General and the Utah Cyber Center when misuse relating to 500 or more Utah residents has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur; the Utah Cyber Center breach form automatically notifies both entities. The consumer trigger matters because the clock usually starts only after a legally meaningful incident analysis, not merely because an IT alert appeared.
The last verified date for this Utah lookup is 2026-08-13. Use that date as a prompt to refresh counsel review before making a live notification decision.
How to use it during an incident
Start with containment and evidence preservation, then identify affected resident states and compare the shortest stated deadline first.
A practical incident file should record discovery time, encryption status, systems involved, affected consumer count, vendor involvement, and the person responsible for counsel review.
For Utah, the WISP should say where the notification decision log lives, who contacts counsel, who checks the regulator portal, and who approves any consumer notice before it is sent.
This lookup pairs with the Incident Response Plan because the plan owns the workflow: intake, escalation, containment, preservation, notice analysis, communications, and final review.
How it fits the WISP
A WISP should not guess at state-law outcomes; it should make the breach-review path fast, documented, and source-linked.
Pair this lookup with the Utah WISP requirements page so the firm's written program names the state-aware incident path before an event happens.
Policywright keeps the breach clock separate from the policy packet: the lookup tells you what to review, while the generated packet assigns owners, evidence records, remediation steps, and review cadence.
Not legal advice. A qualified lawyer should confirm whether the incident facts meet a statutory definition, whether substitute notice or regulator notice applies, and whether another state or federal rule changes the timeline.
FAQ
Is this Utah lookup legal advice?
No. It is a source-linked lookup for incident planning and should be reviewed with qualified counsel before relying on it in a live notification decision.
What if affected residents live outside Utah?
Use the multi-state lookup page and include every state where affected residents may live. The comparison table sorts selected states by the shortest stated deadline first.
Does this replace the FTC Safeguards Rule notice analysis?
No. State notice review is separate from the federal Safeguards Rule and 16 CFR 314.4(j) analysis. A serious incident file should preserve both review tracks.
