Cybersecurity and Data Privacy
As cyber threats and compliance regulations exponentially increase, the Chambliss cybersecurity and data privacy team remains a trusted resource for risk identification, compliance, data breach response, cyber insurance policy review, and other related matters.
With the vast amounts of data that businesses hold today, maintaining cybersecurity and data privacy is of paramount importance. We assist our clients with everything from identifying legal obligations in this space to implementing GDPR compliance measures to managing and responding to cyberattacks, including those that involve data breaches. We realize that when it comes to cybersecurity and data privacy, a one-size-fits-all approach is not the answer. Our team collaborates with clients to identify how we can tailor solutions to fit their individual business models and goals.
What We See on the Horizon
- There are increasing cyberattacks on a variety of industries, including those that can threaten an organization's very survival. We help clients better understand current cyber risks, measures needed to address those risks, including the "human element" of cyber risk, and we help clients respond to and recover from cyberattacks when they occur, including evaluation and management of legal breach reporting obligations.
- As technology continues to advance, as risks grow, and as data privacy and security laws evolve, clients need to make sure they have up-to-date safeguards, compliance measures, and training. Our attorneys assist clients in identifying and implementing both required and "best practice" cybersecurity and data privacy measures.
- The costs of cyberattacks and data breaches continue to increase, and these costs are often much greater than a particular organization would expect. Our attorneys serve as trusted advisers to minimize these data risks and associated costs, allowing clients to focus on running their businesses in secure environments without undue disruption.
- Even as technological advances allow companies to be more nimble, mobile, targeted, and efficient, they have made businesses of all sizes vulnerable to cyberattacks like never before. And, cyberattacks have become more sophisticated and wide-ranging, adversely affecting businesses as diverse as mom-and-pop corner groceries and international shipping giants. It's important that all companies, no matter the size, have data breach response plans in place.
