Digitalisation, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Processing, Data Sharing, Data Privacy, GDPR, Data Breaches, Ransomware Attacks, Malware, Data Recovery, Cybersecurity, Blockchain’

All the above are just some of the terms that have invaded both our personal and our business vocabularies seemingly overnight. The pace at which technology is advancing is breathtaking and many things which once seemed impossible are now almost mundane

Whilst new technology does open up many exciting opportunities it can also be overwhelming and make us feel vulnerable. We approach cyber as a corporate governance risk and advise on the full spectrum of cyber issues. This includes helping our clients understand and mitigate cyber risks, both in their ‘business as usual’ operations, and when engaging in activities which raise specific cyber concerns.

Our experienced lawyers in our Data Privacy and Cybersecurity practice can assist you with:

• Implementing appropriate measures, policies, and procedures to ensure the protection of your data
• Implementing the appropriate procedures to ensure the compliance with all relevant regulations (such as GDPR) and national and cross-border legislation.
• Developing the appropriate action plans to respond to and deal with cybersecurity issues that may arise
• Preparing for cyber breaches, including designing tailored cyber response plans
• Responding post breach, including advising the board on internal and external actions, coordinating investigation of the breach, and liaising with regulators and third parties
• The exercise of individuals’ rights, including customer and employee subject access requests
• The privacy implications for tech, such as AI and blockchain, and the impact of future digital regulation on data risk
• Data sharing agreements, from simple process agreements to more complex data pooling arrangements and large strategic sourcing arrangements
