Cyber Security covers helping organisations protect information systems, data and networks from unauthorised access, theft or disruption. It includes advising on risk assessments, incident response planning, data breach notification under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, contracts and governance for suppliers, and compliance with the Network and Information Systems Regulations where relevant. A solicitor in this area drafts or reviews security policies, handles regulator interaction, and assists with investigations and remediation after incidents.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
They identify vulnerabilities, map data flows, advise on technical and organisational measures, prepare incident response plans, assist with data breach notifications to the ICO, review data processing agreements, and negotiate with third parties on security controls and risk allocation. They also guide clients through regulatory expectations and documentation required to demonstrate due diligence and compliance.
