When a cyber incident happens, it’s all on the line and we are here to help! You could be facing a damaged reputation, imperiled intellectual property, endangered customer relationships, government investigations, congressional attention and litigation – all of which exacts a significant toll of money, resources, and time. And the threats are intensifying.

Be prepared.

Protecting against cyber incidents is a growing technical, management, and legal challenge for companies and public institutions. Measures considered reasonable and prudent in the past are evolving to meet new regulator and investor expectations.

Public disclosure of a cybersecurity breach at a company is often quickly followed by government investigations, congressional attention, stakeholder inquiries, consumer class actions, and shareholder suits, particularly in the United States.

One calculation puts the “average” cost of a cyber breach involving lost or stolen personal information at $217 per record. Or $6.5 million overall in the cost of detection and escalation, notification, ex-post response and remediation, and lost business.

Assess. Planning before an incident occurs is crucial to cyber risk management. The dynamic threat landscape, regulatory expectations, and risk management issues mean that a preparedness plan is now standard for many industries. Plans are not one-size-fits-all. Our team will identify your unique threat profile, technical obligations and risk, and incident and response readiness.

Prepare. With a clear understanding of your organization’s specific challenges in hand, we can then provide integrated technical and risk analysis and counseling on the full suite of relevant factors. Specifically, we can help you address global breach laws, industry- specific security and cyber risk management obligations, cybercrime, senior leadership duty and care obligations, government procurement requirements, ITAR, CIFIUS, the SAFETY Act, and regulated data handling. Using that information, we can then draft response plans and help you rehearse them so that you are ready when the inevitable occurs.

Support. Our multi-disciplinary response team 24/7/365 support, counseling and strategy development to help you tackle the vast array of challenges that arise in the wake of an incident. Clients can be overwhelmed and even crippled by issues such as information-sharing, breach notification, communications and PR, and vendor and forensic expert identification, but we will use our extensive experience and mature judgment to help you navigate every step of these minefields.

Respond. We will help you identify and interact with the appropriate law enforcement, regulatory, and other government officials, and can facilitate multi-company interaction on issues relevant to a broad group of stakeholders.
