This area covers how organisations respond to cyber incidents that affect information systems and data, including identifying the breach, assessing risk, notifying the Information Commissioner’s Office and affected individuals, and implementing corrective steps. A solicitor helps coordinate evidence collection, draft communications and data breach notices, review cyber insurance and third-party liabilities, and advise on regulatory and contractual obligations arising from the attack.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
A solicitor maps incident timelines with technical teams, reviews relevant data protection and breach notification requirements under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, liaises with regulators and affected parties, and advises on remediation, third-party claims, and risk transfer through cyber insurance. They help prepare internal governance responses and incident postures to reduce future risk.
