Data Breach and Data Hack Concerns

ATTORNEYS IN DALLAS

Our Dallas Lawyers can assist in cases of breaches and hacking, intellectual property theft, and corporate espionage.

Data Breach and Data Hack Concerns

As the internet and electronic data storage continue to grow, so does the concerns for data breaches and hacks. There are a number of new data hacks announced each year and jurisdictions often fail to have legal guidance or protection plans in place. Consequently, companies struggle to meet the general standards of data security and compliance for the personal information of their consumers.

Consumer concerns include many types of information and various methods of breach. For example loss of credit type information, privacy in online conversations, health and medical information, loss of retirement savings, and security camera or alarm system hacks.

These are only a few examples of data breaches so businesses and individuals need to take action to avoid being a victim of cybersecurity crimes.

Internet Security Laws

There are different standards for data compliance depending on the state and jurisdiction. Businesses should be should be aware of changes in the law and requirements in different jurisdictions when implementing their security measures.

Our attorneys stay up to date on the changing rules and regulations regarding to technology law. We help and advise companies to use technology legally in order to conduct a successful business.

Proactive Measures

Businesses are often unprepared to handle digital threats and courts are relatively new to deciding on the changing legal issues regarding data breaches and hacking within the newest technology. This results in businesses underestimating the seriousness of data security. Some of the most common reasons for data breaches are lack of process for security prevention, errors made in security processes, employee/owner misappropriation or mismanagement, physical theft, spyware type installation, and website hacker attacks.

Cyber liability insurance, also known as data breach insurance, provides businesses with financial protection against data breaches at your business.

If you are responsible for another company's data security, you may need third-party cyber security insurance. This policy covers legal expenses when a client blames your business for failing to prevent a data breach at their company. Even with the preventative measures in place, data breaches can still occur.

Businesses with an in-house expert on data security would benefit from a consultation with our technology law attorneys. We can help businesses evaluate and update their current cybersecurity procedures. To read more, visit our technology legal solutions page.
