Data Security and Privacy
Lock it down
Information, intelligence and data are at the heart of your business. Technology is continually evolving in how business, health and consumer-related data is being collected, stored, used and further disseminated. But risks to the security and privacy of such data are continuing to increase, with cyberattacks and data breaches making headlines nearly every day. Struggling to keep up, federal and state laws and regulations are being introduced – frequently creating uncertainty and inconsistency in how your company must protect its data.
Barnes & Thornburg's Data Security and Privacy attorneys help companies analyze and mitigate risks related to the collection, storage, use and distribution of data. We work to help you establish risk management policies, business continuity procedures, and data breach responses. By putting together effective contractual provisions with vendors and comprehensive cyber insurance policies with insurance providers, we help your company better manage and, where appropriate, transfer the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches. We keep abreast of the constantly changing federal and state laws and regulations governing specific industries as well as businesses in general.
