International Privacy, Cybersecurity and Data Protection
In our digital age, data is increasingly personal. Properly using information while respecting privacy rights has never been more important.
Regardless of your industry, privacy and data security should be primary concerns. As technology advances, threats increase, and laws and regulations expand, being well-prepared is more crucial than ever.
In recent years, many countries around the world have introduced new or updated privacy legislation, most of which is stricter and more comprehensive than ever before. Other jurisdictions are also considering implementing similar laws.
After the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect in 2018, many countries began implementing national privacy laws that closely mirrored the GDPR. In this decade alone, several countries have introduced their first comprehensive laws on privacy and data security, and this trend is anticipated to continue.
The international landscape of privacy and data security laws is complex and requires careful management.
It is essential to address any cyber risks in contracts with business partners such as vendors, suppliers, subcontractors, and service providers. This is notably the case for business relationships involving transfers of personal, regulated information to business partners.
Directors and officers are responsible for ensuring that their corporation or organization properly manages cyber risks and responds effectively to cyber incidents. We can help advise directors and senior management on how to fulfil their legal duties in this regard and educate them about the risks associated with data breaches. Moreover, we help create a proper record of due diligence and business judgment.
We can help you navigate the rapidly changing regulatory landscape and address emerging threats. Our services include defending against regulatory inquiries, assisting with enforcement actions, conducting litigation, and ensuring thorough privacy and data security due diligence. Additionally, we can draft and negotiate data clauses and contracts. We work with you to minimize the risks and impacts of security incidents.
Requests from individuals for access to their personal data, as mandated by privacy laws and regulations, are becoming increasingly common and can pose challenges for organizations. We are here to assist you in navigating this process and effectively managing these requests. Additionally, we can provide guidance on data collection processes and search methodologies.
Cybersecurity is no longer a concern limited to IT or technical staff. A successful strategy to protect an organization from cyber threats involves understanding both the technical risks and how these threats can result in personal and financial harm. Effectively addressing these threats requires a comprehensive understanding of legal and regulatory frameworks, as well as the rapidly changing risks associated with them.
Whether assisting with cross-border compliance risks or responding to cybersecurity incidents, we ensure that these issues are managed effectively.
