Data Privacy & Security

Data privacy and security is a top concern for general counsel and their corporate legal departments. Yet, limited time, lean resources and competing priorities are a reality. As such, many companies assume some cybersecurity and privacy risks.

Clients turn to our global interdisciplinary team for solutions in three main areas:

• Information Assurance – assessing the strengths and weaknesses of their cybersecurity profile and developing a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy.
• Information Governance – establishing a thoughtful, practical set of information and records management policies buoyed by a comprehensive inventory and classification of corporate information across all business lines.
• Incident Response and Remediation – planning for and responding to cybersecurity incidents or data breaches in an effective, efficient and legally compliant manner, then assisting in the creation and implementation of new, responsive controls.
