- Apply the required security safeguards to a restricted vendor, employment, or investment transaction that would give a country of concern or covered person access to that data.
- Treat data as in scope even when it is anonymized, pseudonymized, de-identified or encrypted: a collection of sensitive personal data counts toward the bulk threshold in any of those forms (28 CFR 202.206).

- Expect a civil suit from anyone whose communication you intercept, disclose, or use without the required consent, for the greater of actual damages plus your profits, or statutory damages of $100 a day per violation or $10,000, whichever is greater, plus punitive damages and the plaintiff's attorney's fees.
