Transferring and storing large amounts of confidential and sensitive data has become easier but more complex and subject to greater risks, exposures, and liabilities. Cyber and data security is an area that affects a wide array of industry sectors and businesses small and large. Legal issues and concerns are no longer limited to specific industries or professions such as healthcare. Companies and business operating nationally or serving European clients must be compliant with U.S. and European laws and regulations. Federal and state laws relating to data breaches or failures to securely maintain confidential information have become complex and subject businesses to substantial fines. In addition to defending our clients against claims of privacy breaches, through the years we have assisted clients in assessing their risks and preparing internal policies and procedures that assist the clients in complying with various governing laws and regulations.
