Resources to assist counsel in preparing for and responding to cyber incidents, especially data breaches. This toolkit includes resources that address cyber incident response planning, US federal and state data breach notification laws, risk mitigation, litigation and regulatory enforcement issues, and common pitfalls in data breach response management.
Organizations that suffer cyber incidents, including data breaches, may incur significant expenses, including costs for:
- Investigating and containing the incident.
- Notifying affected individuals and helping them protect themselves if a data breach compromises personal information.
- Settling regulatory enforcement actions and private lawsuits.
- Recovering from reputational damage and lost business.
An effective cyber incident response management process can help minimize risks. This Toolkit contains resources that provide practical guidance on core process elements. For more details on developing, implementing, and maintaining a reasonable information security program to prevent data breaches and other cyber incidents, see Information Security Toolkit.
