A. Any person that owns or licenses computerized data that includes information relating to income tax withheld pursuant to this article shall notify the Department of Taxation without unreasonable delay after the discovery or notification of a breach in the security of such information that creates a reasonable belief that an unencrypted or unredacted version of such information was accessed and acquired by an unauthorized person.
