If you are part of an organization and think you don’t have a privacy and data security issue, think again. Privacy and data security are quickly becoming some of the fastest growing areas of regulation in the U.S., and any organization that uses information technology (IT) or stores personal information for its employees or customers is at risk of a data breach.

Risk management and compliance can be especially challenging given today’s overlapping and sometimes contradictory common law principles, federal laws and regulations, agency guidelines, state laws and regulations, international obligations, industry standards, and other general and sector-specific requirements. This patchwork system, together with cross-border data flow challenges and increasingly creative hackers, heightens the risk of privacy violations and means that attorneys and privacy professionals must remain vigilant at all times.
