Consumers May Sue Companies That Fail to Safeguard Their Personal Data

Privacy attorney Adam Greene of Davis Wright Tremaine: The more cases like this that are successful, the higher the costs of a data breach become. This is because a successful class action lawsuit can far surpass the cost of regulatory fines. Unfortunately, there is not much that entities can do after the breach, other than offering identity theft services to reduce any potential injury to affected individuals. Rather, the most important steps are putting in place reasonable safeguards before a breach, to prevent a breach or strengthen any case that a breach did not occur due to the entity's negligence.

Legal Readiness | Privacy Compliance for Lawyers

LEGAL READINESS® FROM CSR

CSR’s Legal Readiness helps lawyers comply with rapidly changing privacy laws and with ethics rules on competence and confidentiality – For example, in New York see Rule 1.1, Comment [8] and Rule 1.6(c) as amended January 1, 2017.

By answering the questions in Legal Readiness, lawyers can evaluate their management of confidential and personally identifiable information (PII). Expert systems analyze the answers from a privacy perspective and generate a customized schedule of remediation tasks in order of priority. Legal Readiness™ then provides guidance on privacy practices and access to information and solutions. It’s an extremely effective way to improve your data privacy practices and data security.

Most lawyers try hard to protect confidential information. They believe completely in the principle of client confidentiality. But technology poses dangers that many lawyers have not mastered, and nearly all lawyers can significantly improve the way they handle PII and client confidential information, both for paper data and digital data. Unfortunately, day-to-day business and urgent client demands get in the way. Now is the time to act with Legal Readiness™. You can't fix what you don’t know is broken.

91% of data breaches are avoidable. Most breaches have human causes and result from human error – even the hacks you hear about. Don’t be the lawyer that thinks data security is an issue for an IT specialist or someone else - this is your issue. It is about how you conduct your legal business and about your compliance with the Rules of Professional Conduct and your adherence to the standard of care. Legal Readiness™ gives you a framework for regulatory compliance and excellent risk mitigation.

GET LEGAL READINESS® TODAY

Revised rules and constantly evolving guidance from the ABA and state courts, and constantly growing threats from hackers, mean it's time to take decisive action. Get Legal Readiness today and take the necessary steps to meet your professional requirements and protect your clients' data and your own professional reputation.
