Cybersecurity Law Is A Dynamic Landscape
Our Aim Is To Provide Clients With Clarity
In our increasingly data-first world, cybersecurity is more critical than ever in guarding against cyberattacks that can be catastrophic. In light of the ever-expanding and critical nature of cybersecurity, laws of cybersecurity are dynamic and growing, with several laws in effect, ranging from the EU and UK versions of the GDPR, US state-specific laws such as California’s CCPA as amended by the CPRA and New York’s SHIELD Act and the NYDFS cyber security regulation, as well as sector-specific laws such as HIPAA for certain health information to the GLBA for certain financial data and the SEC’s cybersecurity breach disclosure rules. Layered on top of these laws are cybersecurity frameworks and standards, such as those from the NIST, as well as regulatory guidance, such as from the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) guide to CEOs on cyber incident response.
While many of these laws have a privacy-specific focus, such as how data can be processed, they also have cybersecurity components, such as the kinds of security needed to ensure the safety and integrity of information to the required procedures that must be followed in the event of a data breach, including regulator and consumer notification. While larger businesses operating globally have larger risk vectors in the cybersecurity context, even smaller businesses need to contend with cybersecurity and, by extension, cyberattacks.
At RICHT, we understand the importance of having a cybersecurity lawyer to counsel businesses in today’s digital yet dynamic regulatory frameworks combined with an ever-evolving threat landscape. We focus on helping clients avoid costly legal cybersecurity risks while mitigating damage from cybersecurity incidents and matters once they arise. Whether it is incident and breach response and notification to data privacy and protection, we work closely with our clients to develop tailored strategies that meet their unique needs. In addition, in conjunction with RICHT&Co., we offer a variety of technical services, such as vulnerability assessments and penetration testing, to help our clients identify and address potential security deficiencies before they can be exploited. In addition, clients benefit from reputational risk management and PR strategy via Baker Hartford.
