DATA PRIVACY & CYBERSECURITY

We focus on privacy by design, helping clients comply with the rigors of information security laws like Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), New York's SHIELD Act, NYS DFS 500, PCI/DSS and more.  Our practice group is well-versed and able to assist clients in building best practices for maintaining their data privacy and security. 

 

Our goal is to guide clients into taking a global approach to cybersecurity through planning to better ensure they reduce their overall risk as well as minimize damages in the event of a breach or incident.  We understand that compliance may be the short-term goal, but that data privacy is an ever-changing field that requires a collaborative effort between the Business, legal/compliance, IT, insurance providers and breach response experts.   Our group focuses on the following key areas to assist our clients:

​

• Policies, Procedures & Best Practices

• Data Breach & Incident Response Mitigation

• Privacy Law Compliance

• Technology Supported Initiatives 

​

The data privacy and cybersecurity practice is led by Jacqueline Goralczyk.   Jacki has an LL.M. in Cybersecurity and Data Privacy from Albany Law School where she is also an instructor in their Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Masters and LL.M. program.
