As privacy laws continue to expand and evolve, the pressure on companies to keep up with changing laws, regulations and industry practices grows ever more onerous. At the same time, the constant danger of data breaches — with the potential release of personal or sensitive data — can pose dire, or even existential, risks to the enterprise.
Our attorneys help clients navigate this fraught and uncertain environment by putting in place pragmatic compliance procedures. Our long history of leadership within the advertising and marketing ecosystem gives us unique insight into the privacy compliance needs of this sector, and has served as the building block as our practice has grown to encompass multiple industries: retail and e-commerce, media, healthcare, finance, a broad array of technology businesses and more. As compliant privacy disclosures require far more than simply a privacy policy, our clients look to us for a comprehensive view and analysis of the entire consumer experience. They count on us to know “what’s market” — what others in their industry are doing and how to manage the risks they face — and to keep them abreast of best practices as they evolve.
Internal Policies
We work closely with clients on all key compliance measures. As many new privacy and data security laws require organizations to maintain written documentation of their policies — even in the absence of a statutory requirement — our clients regularly call on us to draft and update such policies.
Audits and Training
We conduct compliance audits to evaluate the privacy and data security controls currently put in place by our clients, and to test them against legal obligations and industry best practices. Thereafter, we provide recommendations on improvements and enhancements to the program. To assure policies are fully implemented — and do not just exist on paper — we conduct security awareness training for their employees as well.
